A group of friends is in luck when they find an easy score: an empty house with a safe full of cash. But their luck runs dry when the elderly couple that lives there comes home early, and they must fight to save themselves from a nightmare they could never have imagined.
Paste Magazine by Andrew Crump
Together, McCoy and Williams make The Owners stand out. Newness is a big ask for movies visiting territory this familiar. Two outstanding central performances, however, make a much more reasonable expectation.
The Irish Times by Donald Clarke
Williams and her contemporaries are excellent. The senior actors do, however, steal the show. It’s lovely to see both having such a disreputably good time.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
The Owners proves a nasty, if not exactly credible, thriller.
The Owners is tense, uneasy and brutal, escalating from the creepy to the ludicrous over the course of 92 deliberately unpleasant minutes.
RogerEbert.com by Tomris Laffly
Loosely based on the graphic novel Une Nuit de Pleine lune, The Owners doesn’t feel new or groundbreaking by any measure. Still, this increasingly bizarre film is grisly and absurd in all the right, self-aware ways; qualities that the comparable (and far superior) “Don’t Breathe” also possessed as another recent horror film that turned the tables against its lowlife aggressors.
One theater. Its last screening. No room to escape.
