With all the robbers dead, Mark, Kelly, and Lynn leave the burning house. As Mark helps Kelly load up her car with the stolen money, he offers to leave with her. Kelly stops him, telling him that he has his whole life ahead of him. Mark and Lynn practice their story, in which they say Kelly was never there and infighting caused the deaths of the robbers, and Kelly drives off. As Callum menaces Mark and Lynn, Kelly sneaks up on him and stabs him with a pair of scissors. Callum chases her back to the bedroom, and she flees to the attic, stacking heavy objects on the trapdoor.

As Kelly hides, she overhears Lynn insult her, calling her low class and unworthy of Mark. It’s unclear how much of what he does is actually acting, as he simply plays a rowdy and charismatic Irishman who likes to hit people and show off his ridiculous tattoos. She brings a level of intensity to the role that makes her character believable. Ed Skrein is equally impressive as Callum, the leader of the gang. Dougray Scott is excellent as well, portraying Mark's father, Doug. He's tough when he needs to be but also caring and protective of his family.

Sarah El-Mahmoud has been with CinemaBlend since 2018 after graduating from Cal State Fullerton with a degree in Journalism. Now she's into covering YA television and movies, and plenty of horror. All her writing should be read in Sarah Connor’s Terminator 2 voice over. Somehow, it works – kind of – and that’s mostly because of McGregor's outlandish villain and Gyllenhaal's play-it-straight approach.
After they have a tense conversation, in which he learns about Ferdinand's murder, Shane allows Kelly to go. Mark and Lynn are immediately recaptured by Reg and Sveta, who have returned from the successful heist. As Callum researches how to make a tourniquet on Mark's computer, Kelly desperately reaches for a cell phone, only to find its battery is dead.

When Kelly realizes that the house is being invaded, she quickly adapts to the situation and decides to hide in the attic. From here, the movie becomes a thrilling game of cat and mouse as Kelly tries to outsmart Callum and his gang.

After grabbing a bolt, Kelly returns to the attic and retrieves the crossbow. When Reg refuses to kill the hostages, Callum takes his shotgun and says he will do it himself. As Callum leaves to look for her, Kelly shoots Reg with the crossbow, killing him, though he starts a fire before he dies.
Tiger House is a 2015 action thriller film[1][2] directed by Thomas Daley and starring Kaya Scodelario, Dougray Scott, and Ed Skrein. Scodelario stars as an injured and pregnant gymnast who must defend her boyfriend's house against a home invasion. The film is produced by the United Kingdom-based Glass Man Films and the South Africa–based Tiger House Film.
In the attic, Kelly finds Mark's crossbow, though it is not loaded. As Callum enters the attic, she slips by him and traps him there. He confesses to her that he knows he is dying and has become scared.
While the plot is not entirely original, the movie's execution is what sets it apart. Tiger House is a modern take on the home invasion genre, and it succeeds in keeping the audience engaged from beginning to end. Overall, following Road House’s buzzy premiere, it sounds like this is an entertaining (but not perfect) revamp of a classic film. All in all, its first audience seems to have had a great time, especially thanks to Con McGregor’s debut as an actor. We'll see if general audiences enjoy his work as much as critics did at SXSW.
