I really never write reviews on here, I can't actually remember if I even have before but this film has such a low score and some quite shocking reviews and I don't understand why. Yeah, I get that the plot isn't complex and we've seen home invasion horrors before that follow a similar structure, but his film executes it's story very well. From them moving into the house, we get to the story straight away, there's no faffing about. I was on edge throughout the bulk of the movie and felt myself really rooting for the characters as it was brilliantly acted by both of the leads. It's simple, suspenseful and I would definitely recommend it to horror fans and would probably watch it again at some point. I was really pleasantly surprised!

I don't even really know where to start with this one. I was tempted to switch it off after the first ten minutes but persevered with it. Firstly neither of the two main characters are likeable in any way, between the husband's constant sniping about Scotland and the wife's inherent lack of being able to function as a human being. Within the first half an hour I really didn't care if either of them lived or died. Then we get to the chase scenes, which felt like an age of not much happening. Though the one good part was the woman's attack on one of the intruders where she was successful, unlike many horror characters prior to her, in hitting the guy more than once so that he would not get up again. I'm going to then skip straight to the good part, what we were all waiting for, the reason why these masked intruders were victimising this couple. Prepare to be disappointed, they wanted the house and then subsequently moved in straight away. They also appear to have dropped the two of them off back in London... I can imagine the police investigation will be one of the quickest in history. All in all, a really terrible and pointless film, I wouldn't waste your time on it.

As an American, I can only wonder what the point was? Having been to the U.K. many times, including Scotland, it all seems pretty far fetched. Can't imagine any Scots being dumb enough to do something this awful, nor can I imagine the couple that was terrorized not going to the police & having the whole gang arrested. It'd be pretty easy to catch them all, as they are now hanging out at the house now owned by the English couple...not to mention the guy with the cut up face (What about the guy she beat the crap out of in the shed? Did he even live? How would the criminals explain that?) and all the pig masks...surely someone would remember a bunch of those being sold to some local idiots. Not a horrible movie, acting was great & it was suspenseful. One more thing...and I know some will hate this, but if some men (in pig masks, no less!) broke into my house like that...it would be over quick, because I would shoot them. I'm an American...like it or not, we have guns.

A husband and wife buy a weathered old house in a remote part of Scotland. You won't believe this, but they hear strange noises during the night – noises they initially put down to 'being in a strange house'. Familiar the story surely is, but this is better told than most.The two main characters, Sarah (hugely impressive Pollyanna McIntosh) and Lee Williams as Ed (who is a bit of idiot) are realistic and have a genuine chemistry. As with real life couples, you do wonder why one puts up with the other, but they are believable. The isolated Scottish location is very creepy, and the production itself provides a real sense of growing unease that manifests itself well when the creepy noises are attributed to invaders real and brutal. As the estate agent warned, the land is the site of a gruesome battle between the Scottish and the English … There's a refreshing lack of the sort of jump-scares that have become standard in films of this nature, and the effects are all physical and therefore, real. No noticeable CGI here. And yet once the threats became tangible, my interest dwindled a little as events became typical slasher fare.The ending is what caused raised eyebrows. Looking online, I am relieved my weren't alone. SPOILERS – having been scared, chased, battered and tied up the couple are dumped – bloodied but otherwise unharmed – by a city centre. Their attackers have moved into the vacant house, and are enjoying a few pints with their families. It seems, going by a line of dialogue earlier, that the 'English scum' are responsible for the death of a family member, and so presumably all English are scared away from purchasing any properties in that area of Scotland. I wonder how McIntosh, who is Scottish herself, feels about this event. Running close to racism, I am surprised the makers of this otherwise enjoyable film decided to take this route.
