Kelly (Kaya Scodelario) who is athletic, sneaks into the bedroom of her boyfriend Mark (Daniel Boyd). Mom doesn't like her. She stocks shelves at the super market. Bad guys break in, tie up the family while Kelly hides. That's about it. Typical home break in. It adds a crossbow. The film centers on Kelly who got into the role. Good acting, but do we need another flat plot home break-in?

Recommend watching "Trespass" instead.

Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

Spunky and resourceful young lass Kelly (a sturdy and appealing portrayal by Kaya Scodelario) must fend off a gang of robbers who have broken into her boyfriend's house that she's secretly crashing at.

Director Thomas Daley relates the tight and gripping story at a brisk pace, maintains a tough gritty tone throughout, and generates a good deal of nerve-wracking claustrophobic tension. The compact script by Simon Lewis fleshes out the characters well and delivers a neat surprise twist at the end. The robbers are a nice'n'nasty bunch, with Ed Skrein as lethal psycho Callum and Dougray Scott as seriously wounded mastermind Shane rating as definite stand-outs. An on the money nail-biter.

First, let's be honest. Home invasion movies are a dime a dozen. "Tiger House" is yet another one. A wealthy family (mom, stepdad and son) is taken prisoner in order to force them to hand over a huge amount of money. In order to stand out in such a crowded genre, there has to be something truly unique. In this case, the idea was that the hero would be the the girlfriend of the son. Mom didn't like her, because she wasn't high class enough, but she's actually spending the night at the house (her and her boyfriend's secret, of course) when the invasion begins. She hides, and becomes the only hope the family has for escape as she gradually starts to do battle with the intruders.

That's the movie, basically. I can't really say that it made a huge impression on me, though. It was all right. It seemed to me that there were a lot of plotholes involved - a lot that didn't make a great deal of sense - and as the movie came to its end there was a plot twist that was completely unexpected - but it actually came across as so silly that I laughed out loud when it was revealed.

I guess the most important thing to say about this movie is that, indeed, it made very little impression on me. It didn't manage to stand out. It was quite OK. Definitely not horrible, but also nothing memorable. I'd rate it as a very mediocre 4/10.
