The Intruders (2015)

In this simple home invasion film, Rose (Miranda Cosgrove) on break from college moves into an old house with her workaholic father (Donal Logue). Common horror cliches commence with strange noises with no known cause, ominous dreams of the home's storied past and an unsolved mystery Rose is compelled to solve. While the pace is slow and the scares are tame, the production value is impressive for a straight-to-rent venture. Secrets behind the father and daughter and their current situation make the story a tad more compelling, but overall it's predictable and run-of-the-mill. With so many better options available from the home invasion sub-genre, this one will understandably go unnoticed.
