To me the idea of home invasion horror movies could be one the creepiest forms of film that could be possibly produced. It's a shame none of the home invasion horror films have ever really been all that good.
Ils joins that league of disappointments.
It starts of all right enough with two likable characters in their dream home, living the good life. The scares come in quickly and without a hitch for a brief period. The intruders are cleverly NEVER shown until the very end. Yet something doesn't flow well. There's no meat to this story. Things die down and what is supposed to be tense and frightening just sort of meanders away like a snoozing cat.
In closing, if it's a tense and terrifying home invasion that you're looking for then just stick to the Audrey Hepburn classic, Wait Until Dark and hope for a more recent one to come along eventually.
