I thought John C. McGinley shone as the creepy serial murder... the movie had such an air of uniqueness to it, not like some that you can see the plot coming a mile away... lots of talented people and even animals, and through it all a masterful portrayal of Mcginley's character.As the title says, the intensity builds, and just when you think its solved, it gets better.If you've never seen it, you should find it and I'd even add it to my collection when I find it again... we saved it on the DVR.Don't know what else to say, but they want ten lines... I recommend highly.

I thought this movie was awesome! This movie was mostly filmed at my great aunt's old house. It was a very nice house but the driveway is NOT that long believe me I've been there so many times. It is a very big house and it has a lot of acres that had horses and cows on the property. The house was also in the movie Bird on a Wire. I have been to the house since I was about 2 years old. I was 7 when they made this movie. My great aunt had to move out of the house when they were filming the movie. She had to take all of her furniture out of her house. She got paid A lot of money. I have some pictures from the house.

Sometimes when you read a book before seeing the movie the end result can be a disappointment... not so with "Intensity". This was a great movie that had all the characterisation of the book along with all the edge of your seat thrills and scares. I would definitely recommend that anyone who enjoyed this film read the book as there are a few details that obviously couldn't be translated to the screen. I read the book when I was about 15 and thought it would make a great movie and I was not wrong. Molly Parker makes a great Chyna, playing her with just the right balance of angst and ballsiness. Tori Paul's Ariel is just as I'd imagined her and the young actress's ability to play her with a constant look of absence could be described as somewhat haunting. But it is John C. McGinley, as the sadistic Edgler Foreman Vess, who really steals the show. I can think of no other actor capable of playing this character. The wonder of Edgler Vess is that at the same time as being an absolutely disgusting monster of a man he is also written as disarmingly charming. McGinley manages to play him perfectly. For anyone who has ever seen McGinley in "Scrubs" they should try to imagine his Dr. Cox with a penchant for actually doing all the things he threatens to do. From the moment we first see him in the movie we understand that here is a man with no limits to what he will do just to feel the intensity of the moment. It is not until a little further into the movie that you realise that Vess is actually a fully functioning member of the community who is actually quite adept at interacting with the people he meets in a slick and charming manner (if he so chooses.) Overall this is an excellent screen adaptation of a brilliant book. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys their thrillers with a slightly disturbing edge. Watch and enjoy!

I've only see John McGinley in comedic roles like "Scrubs" so I was awed at the excellent acting job he did in this movie. I missed the 1st 30 minutes when it aired recently on cable but apparently it is not shown very often. I found it extremely "intense". The heroine Chyna was a little annoying like shutting the door of the RV when she sneaked into it from the woods after the bad guy had left it open and leaving a nice trail of footprints right to the back room; checking to make sure the gun had bullets; throwing herself down a flight of stairs while chained to a chair (she could have killed herself and then what good would she do to poor little Ariel), etc. I was actually yelling at her from the couch because she seemed to do some really stupid things. And could somebody please tell me what the significance of the white wolf was? Since I missed the first 30 minutes I thought perhaps it mentioned something about the wolf which seemed to give her courage. To the viewer who asked where John McGinley got the cop car and uniform, I was under the impression that he WAS a cop. Maybe that is just my impression. All in all despite some stupid heroine stunts, the movie keeps you on your toes. I actually couldn't sleep that night hours after watching the movie. I don't watch a lot of suspense shows but this is a winner.
