Just as the title indicates, this film was just a load of nonsense. It's about 85 minutes of complete boredom and about 5 minutes of FINALLY something happening. I'm not usually one for going into a movie blind or just switching off after about 20 minutes or so, but it got to maybe about the 50 minute mark where I started to really struggle to keep with it, but keep with it I did. Bravely or foolishly, well, that's a different issue altogether.
The story (and I use that term loosely for this crap) is basically a loner psycho (who obviously shows he had issues when growing up) breaks into a house, trashes it, then lives in the family's attic for weeks until the inevitable. That's it. Nothing else. It's like a squatters POV home video! And speaking of home videos, the camerawork was REALLY annoying, and I usually don't mind shaky, handheld camera work like a lot of found footage movies can have, but this felt that it was way over the top. At times he was filming the monitors he was watching, but zooming right in, so it became just a blurry mess! As for the continued 80s slasher movie style of heavy breathing, the over-emphasised slurping & swallowing of food/drinks just added to the complete annoyance of this film.
Now, is it plausible that something like this COULD happen? I would say yes, BUT for the intruder to stay completely undetected for the amount of time he did, especially coming out when family members were even still home, for odd things to happen (letters appearing on your bed for instance when you and your wife are the ONLY ones in the house), hearing the odd few thumps here and there and you not even think that something is going on?! Nah, I don't buy it.
There are other things to mention, but I think I've spent (or maybe wasted would be a better term) enough of my time with this crap, so I'll just end by saying watch at your own risk!
