Don't Let This Movie Trespass Into Your Home!!

"Trespassers" was a very terrible movie. From the beginning, the movie looked as though it were shot on a handycam! It was just awful and very shaky! And that was just the beginning!

PROS OF "TRESPASSERS":
1. The zombies were kind of cool and creepy.
2. The torture scenes, with El Gringro were very good, and that showed SOME promise.
3. Although the camera was shaky, at least the quality was good!
4. The storyline was kind of good, but it had it's flaws (see below).

CONS OF "TRESPASSERS":
1. The camera was terrible!
2. The acting was so terrible, it was unbearable!
3. There were parts of the plot that made absolutely no sense at all!
4. The darkness made it hard to see what was going on.
5. We rarely ever see dead bodies.
6. The ending sucked big time!
7. But, at least it ended!

Okay, this is basically what went down in the process of this movie. When the torture scenes came by, there was at least a glimmer of promise, but it just fell apart in the end. The ending was awful. Just, rent if you really wanna see it! January 11, 2008

Less is More - Brilliant

This movie looks like it was shot on a handycam and the actors seem raw and unpolished enough to be real teenagers. The mexican settings are very atmospheric and set an uneasy tone to the movie. The cinematography is claustraphobic and dark for much of the film and so you actually feel like you are there. Not unlike the Blair Witch Project - polished cinematography has been sacraficed here for raw enagement - for me it works - but others may find it hard to get past the scratchy production values. This is one of the most surprisingly good horror/zombie movies I've seen in a while.

The storyline follows a band of five young surfers as they head to a remote piece of Mexican beach to hook up with central character's brother. When they finally arrive their day starts off well with some hot surfing from the guys and a bit of topless nudity from the girls. But when they start wandering among the sand dunes around them - what they discover is very disturbing. Abandonned SUV's, fleash picked human skeletons and by now the party has already been split up. Things don't get any better for anyone. Raw gritty and real - this is a hardcore mexican surfer zombie movie without a scrap of humour in it. I'm sure we will hear more about this among zombie fans as more people discover it. October 7, 2006

So Dark You Can Hardly See A Thing

This film had some some real potential. The characters are not that likable or interesting, but there some scenes that could have been very creepy; if only you could make out what the hell was going on in the almost pitch-black nighttime "photography"; I could hardly see a thing. The bit with the Jim Jones-like fanatic "religious" cult is quite interesting, and the long-unseen Clayton Rohner makes a cameo as the deranged "rev"; the film had SOME promise, what a shame you couldn't see most of what was going on.

Good grade B horror with a message

The Trespassers is a gripping tale of teens looking for fun and finding horror instead. The surf is awesome and makes me want to go check out the Baja scene but now I'm afraid I'll find scary people like things that crawl around in the dead of the night eating people. The place name, Punto Abre Ojos, Point of Open Eyes, contains the message that these poor teens should have listened to. For most of them, they learned too late... maybe in the sequel the survivors will redeem themselves.

The acting shows potential with the hot girls, handsome leads, and some quirky perverted videographer who is part of this young group on a road trip adventure to a Baja surf camp. Michelle Borth is a pretty and talented young actress. Kaiwi Lyman plays a sensitive and athletic lead who we hope to see more of. The horrors they face are the horrors we face when, to our peril, we don't keep our eyes open to the horrific fundamentalist agenda. May 29, 2006

FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSERS

..and lead us not into another teen zombie movie! Five generic youths head off to Mexico to join a brother and his friends for surfing. The beach itself looks like an abandoned sandmine and the actors are about as interesting as the encyclopedia Brittanica in Italian. The camera work is the worst I've seen in some time..give this guy some Zoloft and take a bunch of Dramamine yourself to avoid motion sickness. Though not a true "zombie" film, its plot is silly and its execution atrocious. Avoid. May 28, 2006
