good back-story, and good acting

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

You don't really need to know how or why this guy came to be in the house. Actually why is pretty obvious - he's a psycho driven by control, power and sexual perversion. You can accept what he does,safe in the knowledge he will pay for his crimes in the most terrible way by the end of the film. That should be the point of a film like this, the realisation of the family of what has actually been going on, the sadistic crimes that can only be cancelled out by an even more sadistic end for the perpetrator. The film might have been acceptable if that had happened. But no, there is no point in the suffering and ultimate death of the happy parents, the boyfriend, the handyman, the murderer survives to kill again. Who on earth writes an end like that, what sort of a viewer enjoys the fact he gets away with it and indeed is seen to be lining up another set of victims? Perhaps someone who looks forward to making or watching a sequel, perhaps with the same disappointing ending, maybe a real-life serial killer who thinks that the guy is a hero? Like other recent films with similar endings, what would have been a sensible and satisfying end for most of us is sacrificed in favour of a 'clever' ending that leaves you feeling you've just been cheated out of a couple of hours of your life.

I found this movie surprisingly unnerving, the concept is very real, especially when you feel completely at ease in your own home and I can imagine in a very large home it would be easy for someone to be there and you not notice.This movie made me feel genuinely anxious and quite transfixed to what was happening. It is certainly not overly predictable which I liked. The lack of information about the 'bad man' was a little frustrating but purposely so I'm sure. It certainly gets you thinking, who is he? why is he doing this? why isn't he in the news? etc There are some very cringe-worthy moments, some very distressing moments and some pretty sick moments. The crescendo builds at a very good pace and the ending is fitting.As a horror fan who watched any rating from one star up I always watch with an open mind. Give this one a go, you might enjoy it as much as I did.

Zero originality whatsoever is to be found here.Follows the mold of every single found footage stalker movie made just a little more oversimplified is all.With a 30 minute plot (40 at the most) stretched out to 81 minutes and most scenes mainly being day to day scenes of the family doing regular things at home this movie is far more boring than it is disturbing.The acting is... okay I guess, the family does act kind of like a family does. The stalker we only see from time to time and he's weird I guess, which makes sense.I just looked at the credits and saw that Amy Smart was in it which surprised me, she was in it in retrospect but you couldn't really see it was here because she was only in one scene sitting by a table with the "hidden camera" being very far away.So yeah if she is what makes you want to watch this don't bother. But then there is no real reason to bother watching this period.

Definitely a top contender for worst movies I've willingly watched. Such a mundane, slow-paced, banal movie with a predictable ending. I blame myself for going into this blind, and not watching a trailer or reading the reviews here. I read the synopsis and it sounded like a movie to kill some time. And, hey, a couple of well known actors were in it like Jeremy Sisto & Amy Smart (for the record, Smart has less than 5 minutes screen time.)For your viewing pleasure (if you're as crazy as I am to watch this in the first place) watch the first 5 minutes then skip and watch the last 10 minutes. You'll skip watching the boring lives and irrelevant segments of a typical nondescript family. It'll be like watching a mediocre, fan-made YouTube thriller skit.SPOILERS AHEAD:In short, this is the full story: Psycho killer has an infatuation with blonde mothers. Infiltrates families' lives while they're away travelling. Watches them for days upon days, not doing anything except eating their food and pleasuring himself while the couple have sex. Abruptly ends up hanging the husband and killing the wife after coercing her to admit she "loves him". Moves on to new family. Fin.Low budget, found footage film. Okay-ish acting. Bad script and plot. No character development. No tension or suspense. Bad movie. Bad!
