Does perfect marriage exist? Netflix released the movie “Intrusion” on the 22nd of September what exposed perfection that hides severe breakage in it.
September has been an epic pack for every Netflix chiller. And one of them was “Intrusion”
. However, it was thrilling, to be precise.
The film is worth watching, and it can lead to those impossible possibilities that someone wouldn’t want to think about.
But what is life without that thrill? Let’s have a look at what Netflix has delivered on your plate already.
The plot of “Intrusion.”
Intrusion begins with a happily married couple living in an exquisitely beautiful house in Mexico. Meera (Pinto) and Henry (Marshall-Green), the couple who have been together for twelve years, first met during their studies at the college of Boston.
But they decided to move to Mexico to build their dream house to live peacefully and grow old happily together.
Meera, the main character, is a psychiatrist. Meera has been suffering from ductal carcinoma, a type of breast cancer that affected her ability to procreate and made her infertile.
But her husband Henry never accused her of her inabilities and weakness; instead, he stood beside her each moment she needed and helped her process through her trauma.
He cared for Meera too much what did blind her. After Meera and Henry moved into their new house, some people broke into their house and theft their laptops and phones while the couple was out for a dinner date.
A few days later, three people again broke into the house, but Meera and Henry were at home this time.
Henry shot a gun at two of them and died, one of them got lucky, but Henry murdered him in the hospital.
Meera sensed unusual things about her husband after knowing that he has been hiding a gun in the house.Â
Detectives investigated and searched out that the people who were shot by Henry were the closest family members of Christine’s college student. Eventually, Meera found out the truth about her husband and felt like she never knew him.
She got shocked when she found Christine in a hidden apartment under Henry’s office. Christine is the daughter of one of those people who helped to build their house. Henry kidnapped her and has been torturing her, playing with her since.

Review:
Love is epic while it binds people together, but it scratches lives when love is blind. Human emotions tend to ignore imperfections when everything seems perfect.
We don’t judge those who we love if their love adores us back. It’s in our nature to believe without knowing them, or maybe I should say we never can know such people because of our blindness.
“Intrusion” showcased the character “Henry” in such a truly remarkable way. And I’m sure that people like “Henry” do exist; they are not rare at all; instead, they are this kind of perfect partner who pretends not to hide anything but carries multiple personalities.
Somehow, I felt that “Henry” has got a lot of mental health problems, and he chose to hide them from his wife and control things in his way.
The clock he gave “Meera” on their first date during college is a kind of metaphor in this film because “Henry” used to say “I decide when” while abusing Christine.Â
So, after watching this film, I came to a question instead of a conclusion, “How far should we go to know a person?”
Rating:
I felt awkward about how they didn’t focus on the couple’s relationship, her cancer, surroundings; these things are a bit hazy.
Also, we don’t know about Christine much, only that she’s a daughter of a constructer who worked for “Henry”.Â
And for the character “Meera”, I feel like she shouldn’t have done those horrible things to her husband alone because she could get hurt.
It seemed unrealistic to me, and I’d rate it 3 out of 5, but still, I’d recommend you to watch it because it’s going to teach you how perfection hides severe breakage within itself.
