THE INTRUDER | FAMILY MOVIE REVIEW INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND KIDS

"THE INTRUDER"
(2019) (Michael Ealy, Meagan Good) (PG-13)

QUICK TAKE:: Suspense/Thriller: After moving into an old house in Napa Valley, a young couple realizes the former owner isn't ready to give up the place.

PLOT:: Scott (MICHAEL EALY) and Annie Russell (MEAGAN GOOD) are looking for a new place to live and raise their future family and thus decide to move out of San Francisco to Napa Valley. And they believe they've found the idyllic place in an old house set deep in the woods. After getting a tour by the owner, widower Charlie Peck (DENNIS QUAID), who's lived there his entire life but is planning to move to Florida to live with his daughter, the couple buys the place.
But they're somewhat surprised when they discover Charlie mowing the grass one day after they've moved in, and when Annie invites him to join them and their friends Mike (JOSEPH SIKORA) and Rachel (ALVINA AUGUST) for Thanksgiving, Mike -- who works with Scott -- comes to the conclusion that Charlie isn't ready to give up the place. From that point on, and with Charlie repeatedly showing up for a variety of reasons, Scott's suspicions that Mike's assessment is correct continue to grow, as does his concern that the man might end up being much worse than just an uninvited guest.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
