Scary Stories (from a Dark Allie)

Apparently there are several horror/thriller films called Intruders. I reviewed a different one earlier this year. I’m considering watching another one tomorrow night but haven’t settled yet. I suppose it’s a good sign that watching this film makes me want to watch others with the same name.

Wow, this movie. I was considering rating it at only two out of five, but I gave it an extra star because it’s just so bad. You know, in that can’t look away from it kind of way.

This was a pretty good final installment of the franchise. It closed the loop on many of the questions brought up in the earlier films without bringing up too many questions on its own. I feel like I’ve got closure on the story.

I found this one slightly more interesting than last night’s film but not quite as interesting as the first three films. Spoilers ahead.

This was the first real letdown of the bunch for me. It did have some neat effects – particularly the Kinect tracking dots – but just felt slow and like more of the same.

So far, this is definitely my favorite of the franchise. Maybe it’s because Katie and Kristi are much more likable (or relatable?) as kids.

If you’ve seen both endings to the original, you’re probably understanding why the theatrical version was, well, the theatrical version. This serves as both a prequel and a sequel to the first and does a pretty good job at both.

I liked this when it first came out. I still like it now, though my opinion is slightly less favorable this time around. Perhaps it’s because there are now so many similar movies it’s hard to keep track.

This one’s okay. It’s got Pink (listed as Alecia Moore) and Shannyn Sossamon, so the acting was pretty good.

It’s got the catacombs under Paris, so the setting was pretty good.
