Intrusion is a psychological thriller released in 2015, directed by Dru Pfeiffer, and starring Katie Stewart, Lee Haycraft, Teresa Lawrence, and Kyle Cates. The film tells the story of Holly (Katie Stewart), a woman who starts experiencing strange events in her home after moving in with her husband, Tom (Lee Haycraft). The movie begins with a couple moving into a new home, which they both seem to be excited about. However, the excitement soon turns into fear as Holly starts experiencing bizarre events. For instance, one day she finds that their possessions have been moved, but she doesn't remember doing it. As the movie progresses, the strange occurrences intensify, and Holly starts seeing ghosts and even encounters a mysterious figure.
Tom tries to convince Holly that it's all in her head, but she can no longer deny that something is not quite right. She starts seeing a therapist, Dr. Melissa Carter (Teresa Lawrence), who at first chalks it up to stress but soon starts to believe that something paranormal is happening in Holly's life. She advises Holly to install surveillance cameras to capture any strange events, but the cameras only cause more confusion than clarity.
As Holly tries to understand what is happening, she learns more about the history of her house, which was built on land that housed a former plantation, and she uncovers a dark secret about her husband's family. As Holly delves deeper into the mystery, she realizes that whatever is happening in her house is connected to her husband's past.
From the beginning to the end, Intrusion keeps you on edge, even as you try to catch a glimpse of what's happening with your peripheral vision. The film builds tension in small increments, keeping you waiting for the next scare while building a sense of unease over time. The creepy sound design, especially in the silences, and the jump scares are well-executed, and the camera work creates a claustrophobic environment, adding to the film's suspense.
The acting in the film is good, with Katie Stewart delivering a strong performance as Holly, the paranoid, yet determined wife. Lee Haycraft as Tom, delivers an equally impressive performance as Holly's husband, who tries to support her despite his own fear over what's happening in the house. Teresa Lawrence, who portrays Dr. Carter, brings a sense of authority to the film, helping viewers get a better sense of what's happening.
One of the things that make Intrusion a unique and intriguing watch is that it delves into the world of the supernatural, but it is not a typical possession or haunted house movie. While there are ghosts and things that go bump in the night, the film is more about the psychological aftermath of living in a haunted house. It asks the question, what happens when your home is no longer a safe and comfortable space? Where do we turn to when we can't trust our own mind or judgment?
Overall, Intrusion is a suspenseful and spine-chilling thriller that will leave you on edge, wondering what is real or imagined. The film effectively blends supernatural elements with psychological unease, creating an unsettling atmosphere, sure to entertain and scare its audience.
Intrusion is a 2015 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 14 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.2.
