Horror. Thriller Rural England, early nineties: childhood friends Nathan and Terry are induced by the local sociopath to steal from the Huggins, an elderly doctor and his wife. Nathan's girlfriend, Mary, is totally against the plan, but a few hours later she finds herself in the stately home, beside the safe in the basement and a bunch of other individuals, each more suspicious than the next.

	Media	Author	Review
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"There are some fun moments (...) But the screenplay (...) throws in too many character developments that are presumably designed to keep us emotionally invested but merely clutter the proceedings"
		Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"While The Owners doesn’t attempt to break the mold, it instead opts for a peculiar brand of insanity to complement the violence (...) a solid enough entry in home invasion thrillers (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
		Steve Pond The Wrap	"[It] is tense, uneasy and brutal, escalating from the creepy to the ludicrous over the course of 92 deliberately unpleasant minutes (...) Maisie deserves better."
		Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut	"The Owners appears fairly lightweight at first, then becomes hectic, mysterious, unpleasant, and surprising (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Leslie Felperin The Guardian	"This nifty thriller has an impressively evil streak and a clever twist or two that perhaps are not hard to see coming if you’re experienced in the genre (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Tomris Laffly rogerebert.com	"A deliciously campy ending, as well as Williams’ memorably brawny performance, give this thriller an entertaining, weightless kind of edge (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
