A group of American surfer imbeciles go to an out-of-the-way beach in Mexico and get harassed by unseen rat people. It's sub-inferior material, but well enough exploited to sit through.
The horrible camera and lighting work (the excess of the movie, and all of the action, was too dark and characterized by a heavy dimness or obscurity, rather than bringing any atmosphere or tension, it was just irritating - literally, often you cannot see what's going on).
The scary scenes were remarkable in having no bloodshed, too fast and murky editing, and the acting, lousy.
I will say, I think it would have worked better as a 30 minute movie, because the story is downright empty-headed, like someone made it up in about 1 day.

Really, really bad. Really., 23 Oct 2010

Dreadful. Literally the first 1/3 consists of a bunch of shallow jerks acting like a bunch of shallow jerks. Then one of them bears her breasts for no reason. Then a guy masturbates. Then night arrives and we can't see a thing because everything is so badly under lit, and we have to further guess what's happening because the editing is so choppy. The back-story is hackneyed and just dumb, and the half-ast attempts at character development are, well, half-ast. Calling this movie amateur hour would be an insult to amateurs.

Good grade B horror with a message, 29 May 2006

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.
