The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Shut In (AKA Intruders): Anna (Beth Riesgraf) suffers from chronic agoraphobia. She has just nursed her brother in his final illness but is unable to leave the house to attend his funeral. Expecting nobody to be at home, three men burgle the house. Anna hides but is discovered by the intruders as she cannot flee the building. One burglar, Perry (Martin Starr) is psychotic and drags her outside as a form of torture. Anna however has other strengths and inflicts a reversal of fortune the crooks. Combat then ensues with the house as the battlegroundA rather savage film, more than just your typical revenge film, Anna truly has a dark side of her own. Agoraphobia isn't her only issue. Even the house itself has it's surprises. A few rather disturbing scenes so this is not a movie for the squeamish or faint of heart. Effective Horror/Thriller with perhaps some unlikely developments. 6.5/10
Stumbled on while cruising stations for a flick break. This one caught my curiosity off guard. Starts you off in one direction that gets you wondering where the story is leading and slowly reveals the real powers at play. Acting is above average and the suspense will keep you watching.
I randomly saw this movie while watching TV at home. I was pleasantly surprised. The plot was engaging and twisted. Remind you, I had not seen the trailer and knew nothing about it. I laughed so hard each time timid, petite little Anna annihilated one of those douche bags. I rooted for the female protagonist and she turned out to be quite the twisted little badass. And crazy as heck, but somehow, you still sympathize with her. Once she gets the upper hand its on! I loved the look on each one of those jerks faces when she pummeled them. That basement with all of its hidden quirks was also entertaining. For a channel surfing movie, it Rocked!
A quick read of the synopsis should be enough to put you off this movie. If, like me, you decide to give it a watch anyway, be prepared for 90 minutes of complete and utter crap.The plot is silly - you can probably gather that just by reading the synopsis, but even I was surprised at just how ridiculous it got. I also found this movie somewhat boring. With the whole thing being set in the same location (the house), you need an engaging plot to keep it interesting. This movie fails to keep it interesting.Unless you're a fan of cheap, silly horror flicks, then 'Intruders' or 'Shut In' is definitely one to avoid.
