- 67Austin ChronicleAustin ChronicleFortunately Trespassers has Balk, who adds just the right dose of slow-acting venom into proceedings.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckOrson Oblowitz's Trespassers, the latest horror film to illustrate this principle, doesn't add anything particularly original to the home invasion genre. But it does provide some cheap thrills along the way.
- 50VarietyDennis HarveyVarietyDennis HarveyThe result falls short of being especially credible, let alone memorable. Still, this is a polished genre exercise that provides a decent night’s home entertainment.
- 50Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLos Angeles TimesNoel MurrayOnce the machete-wielding brutes in wrestler masks appear, though, Trespassers perks up considerably. That’s what makes this genre so perennially popular. No matter who’s cowering inside the house, the assassins at the door make their story more interesting.
- 38Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreCorey Deshon’s script is a veritable catalogue of thriller devices, types and worn out situations. Every “cut” and “paste” shows. And no amount of sex in the hot tub or stabbings in the eye can hide that.

- 25RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsRogerEbert.comSimon AbramsTrespassers is fairly timid, as far as home-invasion thrillers go: it’s got some machete - and gun-related violence, a couple of leering masked killers, and a little rough sex, but that’s about it.
