The Owners provides an alternative take on the home invasion genre, It’s not quite a full on horror with Berg attempting to focus on the psychological thriller side of things. This low budget Anglo- French film shows that Berg is an interesting film maker but It’s hard to say from just one film if Berg has a specific cinematic style. It seems to be both an exercise and experimentation, and the culmination of several years work on one idea. Some viewers used to major franchise Horror films may find the pacing very slow, and on a re-watch I certainly felt that was the case. The films ‘Big Reveal’ finale is obvious from the second act it’s not as surprising as it could be and it’s a shame that it lacks the impact Berg clearly intended The saving grace of the film is is the cast choice. They all make the characters far more interesting than they should be, who doesn’t want to see more evil Mccoy?
