Intrusion | 2021 Halloween Movies

October 5, 2021 Cassandra Morgan

Netflix has quite a few Halloween releases this year. While Intrusion isn’t a horror movie, it is listed as a thriller. So Netflix put it on the Halloween roster. I’m not completely convinced it belongs there.

Meera (Freida Pinto) and her husband, Henry (Logan Marshall-Green), have moved into their dream home - an ultra-modern house that Henry designed. Unfortunately, the house is in an extremely isolated location. So when their house is broken into while the couple is out on a date, there aren’t any neighbors to witness the act. A few days later, the thieves return and violence ensues. Henry ends up killing one of the intruders, which upsets Meera greatly. Even worse, Henry wants to continue their regular lives - including holding a housewarming party they were planning. Meera, disturbed by Henry’s actions, decides to investigate what he has been doing. What she finds is worse than she ever imagined.

Uuuuuuggghhh. Everything about this movie bothers me. Meera’s actions border on unhinged, Henry is suspect from the first minute he is on the screen, and nothing really makes sense.

WARNING: I am doing to spoil the movie. If you don’t want to see spoilers, stop reading now. But know that you absolutely should not watch this pile of crap.

Here’s the big (non) spoiler - Henry is the bad guy. I knew it the second he showed up. My husband chuckled because in the first ten minutes of the movie, I said “Girl! Your husband gonna kill you!” Yep.

Anyway, Henry kidnaps this college girl, Christine Cobb (Megan Elisabeth Kelly), for no apparent reason. Christine doesn’t remember Henry doing anything besides watching her as she was tied to a chair. Henry just says he’s always had these urges but never acted on them until now. But, like, WHAT URGES? There’s a vague reference that maybe Henry raped Christine (Christine’s dad, who helped build the house, said he didn’t like the way Henry looked at her) but no one says it actually happened. Henry just sits and looks at her. WHAT THE HELL, HENRY?

And Meera is not much better. Nothing she does make sense. When she finally realizes that Henry probably did something to Christine, she goes into Henry’s home office…during the party…when there’s a house full of people AND Henry…to poke around to try to figure it out. Um, this is something you do when no one is there. Then, when she finds the hidden room and Christine, she gets herself captured by Henry because she decided to stand there and call the police instead of doing anything useful. Sure, he’s going to let you talk to the police while he’s standing there next to a baseball bat. She’s just dumb.

Just don’t bother with Intrusion. It’s slow and boring and the characters suck and it’s not scary. (OK, there is one jump scare that got me. This movie is not worth that.) Two boring movies in a row. I hope this isn’t a trend for the year.
