Trespassers (2018) follows two young couples who rent a Mojave desert luxury house for a weekend of fun when doorbell rings and the body count begins. This film is a huge disappointment. I expected a fun and cheesy home invasion film, but got a boring and directionless mess of a film.
The cinematography is very basic with a lot of poor camerawork. The colour schemes are very intense to the point where the film feels visually overwhelming and the lighting is poorly done resulting in a very visually unpleasant watch.
The movie has a lot of sloppy sound design and the sound mixing is done badly. The score itself is overbearing and way too distracting, with a soundtrack that is way too dull. It includes a lot of cheesy stock sound effects which honestly come across as very laughable, ruining any attempt of tension building.
Unfortunately, the characters and acting are the worst part of the film. The acting only gets worse as the plot progresses and none of the actors have any chemistry with each other. The line delivery feels incredibly off too. The characters are written to be very irritating, shallow and unlikeable. Additionally, the villains feel way too weak and I don't understand their motives.
This film is structurally very messy with a basic and cliche plot and no real driving force. A lot of scenes drag resulting in no tension being built up, and the whole film just feels extremely boring. The ending of the movie is incredibly rushed too, and I have no idea what the filmmakers are trying to achieve.
