Intruders: A Home Invasion Film with a Twist

What turns things on their head a bit is that there really is not clear good guy/bad guy dynamic here. As hinted at in the premise, this lady is a lot more vicious in her own right than she seems. She is hardly a stereotypical victim character. This creates an interesting character dynamic, built on further by genuinely complex characters with more to them than first meets the eye.

Generally, a story always has a protagonist and an antagonist. These are thought to be essential to a well written plot. But what if the roles are more ambiguous and we can simply observe a drama unfold without the bias of cheering for one party or the other? Or cheer for one party while the person next to you views the situation differently and cheers for a completely different party? I think that type of ambiguity is fascinating and requires real skill to deliver. And that type of skill is present in this film.

On top of that, the performance of Leticia Jimenez is a real treat. Her character requires a very wide range of emotion and variance and she handles the job perfectly.

Overall, Intruders breaks the home invasion mold and is definitely a staple for fans of the subgenre to look forward to.
