Trespassers (2006)

Colin & four of his friends undertake a road trip to Mexico to locate a remote beach where his surfer brother Tyler is camping in, the promise of uninterrupted waves being on the agenda. But after arriving at the beach, they find that Tyler & his group are not there – only their vehicles & belongings are left behind with all the food missing. One of the group, Lucky, goes missing while exploring the area. After searching for him, Colin & his friends find Lucky's missing camcorder. They turn it on & find that Lucky had discovered the mutilated bodies of Tyler's companions & was promptly attacked by crazed people. As night falls, the four remaining friends are assaulted by wild crazed people who are the victims of El Gringo, a cult leader thought dead who haunts the area, turning any foreigners into cannibals by his eyes.Trespassers was one of a long line of independent horror films made by wannabe filmmakers who have gotten hold of a camcorder & some money & roping in a few friends for actors & production personnel. This low-budget approach is a time-honoured tradition – many of the best horror films throughout history, from THE EVIL DEAD to NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, used exactly the same setup.However, unlike those two classic examples, Trespassers is something of a disappointment, although it isn't particularly terrible – more of a mediocre effort that has a reasonable idea – surfers head to a beach that is cursed territory, later attacked by crazed cannibals led by a cult leader who judges people's fate by his eyes – but fails to make much use of that premise. I've heard some people call this a zombie film, which might be halfway applicable if you use the term very loosely.Trespassers is undone somewhat by a lack of technical polish. Again, this need be not a liability – many classic horror films had a certain roughness that added to the charm – but without the talent to use it effectively. There is a modest atmosphere to be had in the film, but the use of camcorders as primary equipment for the film hurts the film's chances since camcorders (or whatever equipment they used for the stock, which is full of digital grain & a noticeable lack of resolution, which really defies any effort to gauge what is going on in the dark) have severe limitations in the film department – they belong to home movies, not professional genre films.That said, Trespassers works a fair bit in the horror department. Director Ian McCrudden uses the empty lands of Mexican coastlines & abandoned buildings to decent effect, generating some much needed atmosphere for the film. The actors do a relatively professional job & the characters are modestly drawn. I found the idea of the film's exposition being delivered in Spanish by a fisherman the friends head to as interesting, but in translation by one of the cast, it loses some fidelity. The "zombie" attacks are done mostly offscreen & with little to no gore, losing the film some much needed marks.

While in the Punta Abreojos in Mexico with his girlfriend Maya (Annica Bejhed) and two other couples, Tyler (Brendan Fleming) invites his brother Colin (Kaiwi Lyman-Mersereau) to join him in the paradisiacal beach for surfers. Colin travels from Los Angeles to the spot in his old car with his girlfriend Ashley (Michelle Borth), her slut friend Rose (Joleigh Pulsonetti) and his friends Javier (Jon Ada) and the goof Lucky (Alex Feldman). When they arrive in the beach, they do not find Tyler and her group, only their motorcycles, surfboards and finally their campsite and truck. While seeking out their friends, the group realizes that there is something wrong with the cursed beach."Trespassers" is a plain low budget movie with a shallow and non-well developed story and characters. There are awfully silly lines, and I believe that the winner is when Lucky asks what "km" is and Colin (I guess) replies that it is a shorter mile. The camera and lighting are terribly poor and the best scene in the movie is when Rose removes her bra and shows her wonderful breasts. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "Intrusos" ("Intruders")

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.

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.
