Trespassers (2006)

Good movie but grossly overrated

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

I hear a lot of people making excuses for this movie based on the low budget. However, the movie fails in terms of acting, writing and direction... all areas that don't necessarily cost a huge amount to get right. I've seen many movies made on even lower budgets that were far more entertaining and well-crafted.The story is classic horror cliché. Five attractive young people go on a road trip to a secluded Mexican beach. Of course, something is terribly wrong with the beach and they start to die one-by-one. I won't go into the details of the inane plot, but let's just say it has to do with the curse of a cult leader called "El Gringo" (yes, that's actually what he's called) and people being turned into blood-thirsty zombies who hunt by night. So it's basically a bad, zombie b-movie set on a Mexican beach.The acting is pretty labored and the story gets dumber and dumber as it progresses. There's plenty of gratuitous nudity from the attractive female stars, which was maybe the highlight of the movie. Some movies are bad but don't take themselves too seriously, so they become fun. "Trespassers" seems to take itself way too seriously, and winds up not very scary and not very entertaining.

Yes, the camera work is shaky - which is a DEVICE to make you feel shaky - it was intentional for those reviewers who didn't understand that - it's also shaky which allows the film to suggest gore yet doesn't dwell on it - it lets your imagination dwell on it... yes, low budget but I'd like to see other films with such a low budget showing such accomplished talent - you won't find them - watch these actors closely - they have the potential to go far! They have depth and sensitivity and bring class to the otherwise simple but spooky story. Yes, the masturbation scene is kinda raw sensuality but hey - that's what teens are about, yes? Yes.

I agree with everything you said. It is all about flashing boobs, also masturbation. On top of that it is like seeing one big soap opera . I would of rather watched a soap opera than this movie. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. My girlfriend fell asleep in the middle of the movie because it was so boring. This is my opinion. If you buy or rent this movie it is a waste of time and money. Dawn of the dead and any other vampire movie beats this movie big time. Like I said this is an opinion I came up with. You make like this movie if you like fake blood, and body parts that look like scraps from a meat dept in your local store. Let me not go any further before I give the whole plot away.

The story goes about 5 young people taking a trip to some hidden beaches in Mexico. it seems like there are some weird weird things going on at that beach, and it seems like our 5 young hero's have just landed in the middle of that...Just watched this movie, and i could say, its a bit disappointing... low budget and bad acting really didn't give this movie the right push. the story line was far from complete with useless characters in it. the scenes are just to messy. the camera shakes far too much witch just don't give you the change to see the movie probably. Most of the time i just had to wait till the scene was over to find out what just happened, and that doesn't have to do anything with the storyline. hence, at the end of the movie, i didn't even remember the main characters name's. The end is very strange to, its like the movie just stopped in the middle of the plot.
