Martin Starr was the star of the movie.


Know him from his comedy, but he completely floored me in this. Very intense.

Totally agree.

I thought he did a good job with the character, though in the end I felt like it was a pretty thinly-written sociopath type.

I wish they'd just kept it a straight-ahead home invasion thriller (with the agoraphobic angle being very original). After the first half there was just too much going on. It forced the invaders (and especially Starr's character) into just being reactive instead of proactive.

Didn't even recognize him. Best actor in the movie. He should be cast in more serious roles, he has some acting chops.
