In other posts, she said she’s had restless nights after the burglary and that she wants to get a German Shepherd because her small dogs were apparently “asleep at the wheel” when the intruder entered, according to the BBC. “He did get these as well, which isn’t a big deal as it’s all just STUFF but might help catch him through pawn shop CCTV or whatever,” she wrote. In another, still-available Instagram story, she showed a photo of some earrings that were stolen. “Is there a way to circulate this foreshadowing ring around pawn shops that the masked man stole before he was tackled into the street?” Ryan tweeted. The laptop contained the scripts to Ryan’s upcoming comedy on the streaming service, “The Duchess,” which she’s written and will star in, Variety reported.īut the crook didn’t leave empty-handed, making off with a ring and other pieces of jewelry, she said. “He got in a fight and wrestled back my Netflix series, all my scripts.” “This is why I love Bobby K ,” she wrote in a clip that shows drops of blood on the laptop, according to the BBC. In another Instagram story, the Canadian-born comic said her boyfriend and childhood sweetheart Bobby Kootstra swiftly jumped into action. “Cool to be robbed tonight by a masked man in our home,” she wrote, according to the BBC. Ryan, 36, posted a since-deleted clip of police at her home to her Instagram story over the weekend. Because if you’re looking for the smart, intriguing thriller the movie is marketed as, it’s flimsy, predictable and uninspired.Comedian Katherine Ryan said her boyfriend fought off a masked intruder at their London home - saving the scripts to her upcoming Netflix show that were stored on a laptop, according to reports. Invite all your friends, grab some drinks and you’ll have a blast. I like The Intruder much more as a comedy. This only works to a fault because it’s never great news when the audience is one step ahead of a thriller. It can be so infuriating as the tension builds that moviegoers are ganging up against the events of the movie – though most comments may to be the effect of, “Wow, that was dumb.” The Intruder actually knows we are smarter than what we see on screen, so it actually plays to that. In a sea of strangers, you might hear quips about the characters’ decisions, and as the film hits the third act, this engagement only grows. The movie leans into film operating as a spectator sport. The Intruder does have something going for it that I’ve witnessed in few audiences: engagement. It’s the kind that’s reminiscent of the music that comes free with a video editing software. There’s even tacky “suspenseful” music in the background and everything – here and throughout the entire movie. I’m not joking, that’s the big first scary moment. There’s one scene where Charlie visits the house once the couple have started to settle in where he gets upset over his old tapestry not being on the wall. At one point toward the middle of the movie when Charlie rolls up to the house yet again, it has a similar beat in sitcoms where a character like Kramer from Seinfeld might walk into a scene, because the audience is being conditioned to chuckle at the continued exchanges. The conversations and big “tension” moments are just ridiculous and work much better comedically then they do with building suspense. So many of the scenes are incredibly awkward. I will say this about The Intruder, I laughed a lot… more than most recent comedies I’ve seen. However, today’s audiences are too savvy, so watching a female characterization lean into foolish trust for a clearly problematic character for almost two hours purely just for our entertainment doesn’t work like the movie wants it to. The only thing that keeps The Intruder going is Annie’s effort to have empathy for him. Scott even writes him off immediately when he sees all the shotguns in the house. So there’s one thrill out the window already. We know he’s going to be the villain… we already have our suspicions. Here’s where the first problem in The Intruder arises: it’s so painfully obvious how creepy this guy is. The complication to their happy life is Dennis Quaid’s Charlie Peck, who sells them the house and then keeps dropping by unannounced as he struggles to let go of the property. This time, the pair is Annie and Scott (played by Meagan Good and Michael Ealy), who splurge on a beautiful house in Napa Valley to get away from San Francisco city life. The movie follows a set up that's classic in the horror genre: a young couple moves into a new home and are disrupted by something unexpected that terrorizes their lives.
