Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Leofwine_draca HOME INVASION is a straight-to-video B-movie thriller that openly copies PANIC ROOM but comes across as far inferior to the David Fincher film. This one sees an ageing Natasha Henstridge playing a mother who is forced to take refuge her own home alongside her child when it is invaded by a bunch of criminals looking for loot. Her only ally is a security operator on the outside, played by a tired Jason Patric in one of those sitting-at-a-desk type roles. Truth be told, this is a typically cheap and overwrought production, with Henstridge failing to impress and the story piling on one cliche after another. I laughed out loud during some of the attempts at more serious moments. The one highlight is the presence of martial arts expert Scott Adkins in the cast, but sadly he's not enough to save the film - and he doesn't even get to fight.

derbo73 The setup and beginning are quite interesting as not much is being revealed. Although the 6 month flashback right after a decent opening is the first downer in a long series in this flick.The characters are unbelievable naive or overly arrogant and stupid. The only believable guy is the bank robber Esther.The home security system and company are a joke. A multi-million dollar home (more a castle) with probably a few dozen rooms and the most expensive smart home rigging installed and they can't do better than this? I expected some really good applications of what such a setting could offer to hide, set traps, escape, counter-attack or do anything to play mind tricks in the gangsters - but all they could do was hacking into the stereo system (well...don't bother) and make some noise for a moment. In the end the security company does very little to save the protagonists, everything that made a difference was done without the aid of the mike guy, who himself was pretty lost all the time.The road block and the time it took the police to reach a crime scene are so constructed - no one would build such a villa in a remote backwater place. Someone who could buy such a house and stuff would also assign at least one security guard to the building - who would have died first, but OK.All in all the story and characters are plain and lifeless, everything feels very constructed and there is never any real suspense building up.Not even worth watching on a rainy Sunday evening with nothing to do.

Claudio Carvalho Chloe Paige (Natasha Henstridge) and her stepson Jacob (Liam Dickinson) live in an isolated mansion in an island. Chloe's husband is traveling and she does not know his whereabouts. One stormy night, Chloe is drinking wine with her friend Alice (Johannah Newmarch) when a car arrives and Alice believes they are strangers needing information. When she leaves the house, she is murdered by a masked man. Chloe closes the front door and calls the police and the home security company. However the police can not cross the bridge that was damaged by the criminals. Meanwhile the trio of criminals breaks in Chloe's house. The security agent Mike (Jason Patric) uses the security cameras to advise Chloe where to hide. The trio is looking for a safe and for Chloe while she is hidden with Jacob. Will the police arrive in time to save Chloe and Jacob?"Home Invasion" is a reasonable thriller considering that it is home video. The story is simple and tense but the characters have unreasonable attitudes. Chloe does not use her car to break down the gate of the garage and flee with her stepson. She shoots Heflin but does not take his weapon and stays in the fire line with her stepson. Heflin threatens Chloe to open the safe instead of leaving his skilled partner continue his attempt. The criminal in the truck shoots the police officers in a senseless decision since he was one against a group. In addition, there is an electrical power outage on the exact moment that Chloe and Jacob are opening the gate. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): Not available on Blu-Ray or DVD

hungry_nirupam I was skeptical about this movie. I really didn't wanted to check this out but I did anyways and boyoboy how glad am I. This movie is about a mother and stepson duo who are in a remote mansion(of course! In every home invasion movie there's a remote mansion). But then a trio of murder arrive and the movie starts out. I love such movies. From The Strangers and recent Berkshire County, I loved all of these and this one is on that list too. The acting is great for all I know and the kid is not annoying (wow!). So if you want to watch something and pass time,then watch this. But it's my humble request that please don't be too critical while watching this. Overall, Story: 5/10, it has been done before. Cast: 6/10 Thrill factor: 6.5/10 so the movie gets 7/10.
