I'm sure you have read all the other reviews but my biggest problem was the police showed up to investigate a suspect living in the walls, turned up, shot a guy and immediately left afterwards, none of them stayed around to gather evidence or make sure the crime scene was clear of any threats...... Seriously they just got the hell out of dodge, which is what the family should have done.

Contains many mistakes and just plain idiotic writing.

Ray uses a duplicate key to break in, but wait.... didn't another locksmith re-key the house? How did Ray get the key? Oh yes, and why didn't the alarm go off when Ray broke in, Hannah set it before she left, but it was off when Ray came in. And Hannah... didn't she notice the alarm was off when she came home? Plus she must be the heaviest sleeper in history, David takes off her sheets, climbs on top of her going nose to nose with his hair all over her face and drools on her, but does she wake? And Daddy doesn't tell them about the murders in the house because they might react bad, well duh, who wouldn't.

2 families who lived in the house disappeared, as did Tommy, but where are their bodies. David doesn't leave the house so he couldn't bury them so they are either in the house (and would stink to high heaven) or David ate them. Hell, making him a cannibal might have helped make this flop a bit scary. 2 families disappear and no one or the cops seem to think anything is wrong. All their belongings were left behind, and since David doesn't go outside, their cars must have been left as well. So they must have just walked away from their mortgage, literally.

But the ending... surely a classic. They know someone is in the house and the cops come to save the day. Ray had been clawed in the head earlier and surely must have been near comatose, but the cops, and the family, thought that in that condition he could do what he did, hanging the Dad, etc... No one even suspected anyone else. Circumstance once again prove that David is still in the house and they called the cops or set off the alarm again, right? Nope, they ignore the danger that could await them. Stepmom ends up dead, as does Dad and Hannah? Stands there crying for her Daddy instead of trying to escape and presumably gets snuffed out. A far better ending? After the cops leave and all appears well, Hannah is in her room loading her luggage and listening to music, Dad and StepMom are consoling each other in their bedroom and we cut back to Hannah. She hears what sounds like something smashing and calls out to her parents, but all is silent. She calls out again, but still no answer. She calls out for a third time as she opens her door to find her boyfriend Tommy standing there covered in blood. He falls to his knees revealing David standing there holding her parents severed heads. Hannah opens her mouth to scream and the movie cuts away to a street shot of the house with a muffled scream in the background. The End.

The actors deserved far better than the terrible directorial effort they received. You eventually get tired of watching Hannah slowly walking through every room rolling her head and eyes to the left and then the right every time she suspects someone was in the house. Overall an uninspiring train wreck of a movie which was described as a horror thriller, but which was neither thrilling or horror. Even the 4 I gave it was generous. Even "The Intruders," which was far from being a masterpiece itself, had a better ending.
