Lousy acting, made no sense. What happened to filmmaking. Budge must of been less than 100 dollars. Just a waste of time. Boring as hell. Willard actor must be hard up for a few thousand dollars.
Watch to the end! That's a good thing to say about this one. Such a fun little thriller horror, that really does a good job of building suspense! It's interesting watching a home invasion movie from the perspective of the invaders. Love The Purge style qualities to it. Recommend!
This is 90 minutes of waiting to see "the locusts" (think Purge knock-off people) take out their targets. Snoozer...dialogue is terrible...acting to match.
Arriving home from work, a stressed family man trying to deal with his sister-in-law's unexpected arrival finds that his home is subjected to a home invasion by a series of masked intruders carrying out orders from a mysterious cult leader and must try to survive the night.
For the most part, this was a generally underwhelming genre effort. Among the few positives here are generally kept to the efficiency and professionalism of the intruders. Operating under guidelines involving various mandates for how much time must be spent chasing down victims and how to operate while inside the house, the appearance of a well-oiled and intense unit is established quite well here providing a sense of eeriness and unease while they're moving through the house. Some of the scenes relating to the invasion with the group carrying out their orders while the family tries to avoid the group, all come off with a modicum of suspense as well but are all that really works for this one. However, beyond these factors, there's very little about this one that's worthwhile. The majority of the problems stem from the barely threatening aspects of the invasion itself. The whole idea of the society here carrying out the orders for breaking into the homes of others as some kind of mysterious secret cult is all completely underwhelming and unexplained. All the intel gathered about them comes from a comically overwrought recorded video message that still remains incredibly vague about what's going on as the entirety of the invasion plays out in the house where the group is going along with already-aware information of what to do yet say nothing clarifying anything to anyone. That, unfortunately, is barely enough to overcome the flaws found in the pacing and approach taken here. Since the film relies on a timer for all their activities to take place, nothing remotely interesting happens for long stretches of time featuring the various groups waiting around for things to happen. From the intruders waiting around outside the door to break into the bathroom politely during a home invasion, the sister that no one knows is there waiting under the bed for a spot to leave and the wife ignoring everything around her to take a bath, this lack of activity leaves long stretches of boredom here. Along with the utterly abrupt ending and lame CGI for the lone kill present, all make this one highly underwhelming and unenjoyable.
Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language, Violence, and mild drug use.

Good lord, i hate this movie but i also hate myself for watching it all.
Nothing about this movie is even passable, and the best thing ? They gathered all actors that are well known for being in bad movies that u don't recall their names or the name of the movies they were into.
To say this is like a made to tv movie is an insult to those movie, i seen youtube movies with better production values.
I hate myself for watching this, i really am the most upbeat movie watcher ever, to a point people say i get happy to know i watched a movie.
This one ? Hell no, hell no, please, stay away from it, if u have any regard to ur own happiness, stay away.
