All the time I thought she is in this family to rob it but it's turns out to be another thing. It is a totally unpredictable movie. But,some points doesn't make any sense like how a drink could do anyone to believe or listen whatever they want:? How could someone so easily influence a police! What kind of police officer he was!!

Good movie
koreavodtv4 August 2020
I don't watch a lot of mysterious movies, but this one really makes me nervous during almost entire the movie. the actress Song Ji Hyo was really good also the main actor reactions were perfect, the end was a bit very fast, it doesn't take enough time to reveal the truth. But in general-outline was a good movie.
I will give it 7/10

Good atmosphere but could be better

Lets start with the bad things: There is a lack of detail about characters and we dont get to know more about them, which makes them look kinda ''dry'' and not that sympathetic. The plot itself is kinda odd and unrealistic, but some people enjoy that and the others don't. Yet, there are many stereotypes that we all know from other films
Good thing is the acting and the atmosphere during the storytelling. I would say its a film to kill time if you have extra 2 hours but you wouldn't miss a big masterpiece if you dont watch it.

Incredible acting from Song Ji Hyo

When a woman, Yoo-jin (Ji-Hyo Song), comes into Seo-jin's (Mu-Yeol Kim) life claiming to be his long lost sister, he becomes suspicious of her claims and true intentions with his family.
This film has both good and bad moments. Let's start with the bad.
There is a vague setup for the film and not enough individual character building. We just aren't given enough reason to care about what is happening with the characters to truly invest in whatever outcome awaits. The way the story has been setup lacks a direction for cause of doubt and it seems a bit rushed.
What I believe the film had going for it was a nice atmosphere. It was very tense even without having all the character building. It is what pushes the film forward. Also the acting was rather good.
I recognized Ji-Hyo Song from Wishing Stairs (2003), the third film from the Whispering Corridors series and I thought she did a great playing subtle nefariousness in her role. I recognized Mu-Yeol Kim from Forgotten (2017) and although he played his part well, he was overshadowed greatly by Ji-Hyo Song.
As far as the twist is concerned, some will like it because it is such a drastic twist while others will look at the screen sideways. It will come down to how you personally feel about it. I thought it was interesting but a bit lackluster. I personally wanted to see something with a bit more punch to it.
Overall the film held my attention but it wasn't the fast paced, intense thriller that I've come to expect from South Korea. Just a bit disappointed but still a decent watch.

Because of Song Ji Hyo

Over reaching movie that forgets the basics
hypergiant6 July 2020
Characters are flat and uninteresting. Not enough time spent on the first act to give the audience a reason to care about the characters or a baseline to be disrupted.
This movie lacks any clues or foreshadowing so when the exposition comes along it comes completely out of left field. Doesn't give you satisfying 'ah ha!' moments as you fit the pieces of the puzzle together in your head. Lots of dumb scenes, shouting, knife fights. Stop a knife fight half way through so you can deliver some more exposition. Main character gets so upset while being a passenger in a car he causes a dumb car crash and just dusts himself off and walks away.
Three very suspect 10/10 reviews already. Avoid this forgetable and boring movie.

A bad movie
kobgye21 August 2020
A movie with a bad script. Tried to chain the events to push to the climax but only made the audience uncomfortable by forced and irrational situations. Those who are passionate about the best crime psychology should not watch, just frustrate you and feel a waste of time.
Rollercoaster of emotions and thrill
rizehoner2 August 2020
The movie is definitely intriguing, for the plot and cinematography make you feel and think like the main character.
It causes confusion as what is real and what is halluction, yet still teach you subtly to always trust your intuition.
I recommend it to those who love psychological thriller, and enjoy plot-twists.

I love JiHyo but I have always not been a fan of her picks in kdramas/kmovies, however I feel like this is such an amazing movie. I think coming in with no expectations made it even better but I was genuinely surprised with all the plot twists and storyline. It was scary, thrilling, exciting but I think the major drawback to me was -spoiler- the cult part. They could've made it more creative but they ended up going for the "shocking" plot. I think all actor/actresses were great, especially loved the male lead but yea I think the writer lost the opportunity to make it more different.
Intuder
marmar-6978019 November 2020
Intruder was a somewhat solid film that had some interesting idea and premise but it was also a film that used its potential to a full way like it had potential for it.Characters are fine but i lacked emotional impact to connect with them and that was a sort of a problem for me.Story also if it was cool and interesting ,it still lacked a far bigger impact that would effect me in a great sort of ways.Story and script were done in a good way,expecly script and acting made that thing just a lot better.Intruder is a proof that not every Korean film is masterpiece but it had some fine moments
Just Okay
anammansor21 March 2022
The movie is about her missing sister and the homecoming of the said sister years later, but protagonist have his doubt about his sister identity. All that is good, but the problem is, it's kind of obvious SJH is not the sister. It doesn't have the "so is SJH is the real one, or not?" effect, the suspense is not wholly there tbh. What the movie need, is another character who can claim to also be protagonist's sister, or something that can add more impact to protagonist confusion.
Still, I find the movie to be watchable, like my headline says, "just okay"

The story was quite interesting. There is also a good thrill in the story. However, there seems to be inconsistency in the plot of the story. Type everything as you see fit. The twists are thrilling and fun, but it's not nice to accept. Many things were out of the question. Still didn't look bad. I like acting very much. Quick movie to watch, what else!
Insult to the Korean film making

CHEAP THRILL

Warning: Spoilers
Just because Song JiHyo is in it doesn't mean it will be a great movie. If I have a missing sister since she was a little kid then just show up out of the blue after decades i will do three time or more dna test and will get the result verbally in front of the police and in front of whole family tree member and in front of family lawyer doctor psychiatrist.The detective was too stupid and not a very pro in this movie without real background check he seems to be on the pyscho side from the start. The murder in parking lot with no cctv at all too stupid. The rest of the cast is a complete mess. And what year this movie wade made? Hit and run unsolved case with zero eye witness with all the high tech Korean made smartphone and in korea on the street next to architect office? Pffftttt.. Heads up if you continue reading this you will read spoilers. Turns out its a cult preying for little girl the rest of the family member drug by your beloved Song JiHyo with made-up-drug supposedly she can just whispered lies to make it seems like reality under in the Influence, the dead depressed wife actually attend the cult one time sobbing then pressured to give her child to the cult and tried to tell the guy but was too late because the cult member happen to know the exact location where the guy and the wife will be. And the guy is just a complete mess and psychotic in just a very short period of time. This guy is a workaholic thus explain the reason why the wife is depressed.
Stupid, ridiculous trash
mister_bateman29 August 2020
The movie tries to be creepy in a Gaslight kind of way as the main guy, after his long missing sister returns, begins to suspect it might not actually be her and nobody believes him. Potentially an intriguing premise but the problem is, the unfolding mystery is really dumb and boring and the actions of the protagonists make no sense and are not believable at all. Also, none of the characters are interesting or sympathetic, I just wanted them all to die. Basically it's an American horror knock-off, with lots of elements borrowed from a variety of equally worthless Hollywood garbage.
Don't waste your time.

One of the worst films I have ever seen. Every cloying cliche imaginable. Terrible story, terrible direction.
I notice some of the high rated reviews using the exact same wording, meaning they are probably from people involved in the film or their agents!
Worth the watch

Felt like a Korean version of a Lifetime Television thriller
phd_travel18 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
There is a problem with cults in Korea so it's a believable premise. But the way the events unfolded felt like those Lifetime Television thrillers Wrong this and Wrong that which feature lots of missing children who come back later but turn out to by psychos. It felt slightly too much and formulaic. The cliched ending could have explained their methods a bit better. Kim Mu Yeol is quite good as the father. The actress Song Ji Hyo looks to off from the beginning with her evil stare. Even the house looked like a McMansion.
Not a must watch unless you feel like a Korean version of a LMN type psycho thriller.

Great effort and powerful acting
phebychow18 July 2020
As a thriller genre movie, Intruder does well at its pace with constantly giving questions to audience what the secret is hidden by his sister. It describes detailed and rich layer about Seo-Jin's mental status after her wife' car accident but also creating much suspicion between people in the family which I did enjoy a lot. Both main actors are brilliant. It so happened I watched another Intruder by Dennis Quaid this week. What's wrong with the Director? The only plot he could think is the intruder licking a woman. I just can't believe such cheap and cheesy plot can be made.
