Wordiezett So much average

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

D Rahul Raj Jsd It's Mr. Dan Hicks' Birthday (July 19th). To honor the Legend, I'm watching one of his films, Intruder, where he plays a very special character, the main character. Danny Hicks truly kills it with his unforgettable performance, he is truly a Legend, An Icon. I would love to see him play more lead characters. There are many notable names involved in this film - Scott Spiegel, Sam Raimi, Ted Raimi, Robert Kurtzman, Greg Nicotero, Howard Berger, Renee Estevez, Bruce Campbell and Lawrence Bender. Elizabeth Cox was one of the main characters and a great actress.This is an old school 80's horror movie, a classic slasher feature that will lighten up your day or night, it has some comedic elements. I remember a time when my Dad and I were restless late one night and couldn't sleep, and we decided to see a movie. Both of us chose Intruder. We both really enjoyed it. I don't think any horror fans out there hated this movie as it's filled with fun. If you are a horror fan and you've never seen this, please go and watch it....

Leofwine_draca Scott Spiegel's love-it or hate-it slasher yarn is fun to watch even after you've noticed what a shallow, plot less little movie it really is. I would, however, recommend genre fans to watch this film just once in order to enjoy Spiegel's imaginative camera angles, the clever and original use of supermarket as the basis for the cat-and-mouse slasher games, and the gratuitous gore sequences which really go over the top, big time. Speigel has his camera from weird points of view like a doorknob, the bottom of a bin or shopping trolley, often making a quirky and quite funny effect. He continued in this vein with 1999's FROM DUSK TILL DAWN 2, although it appears that not many people like his style of filming. This is the perfect definition of a successful low budget slasher flick; the crew shot at night in a real supermarket, without any big effects or name actors, and they made a film that's far more entertaining than many big budget offerings in the genre.The film's middle section is a hoot, as various members of staff are brutally murdered one by one by a mystery killer. The beginning and ending sequences are a little slow but mainly passable, and the whodunit aspect, while overdone and a little obvious, adds to the feel of the movie. Sadly whoever designed the video box art for this movie decided to spoil the killer's identity right away: why are some people in this world so stupid? The acting is all right for such a low budget film, and the tongue-in-cheek script keeps things rolling nicely along with plenty of in-jokes and cameo appearances for genre fans. Seemingly half the folk who made/were in EVIL DEAD II (including the same special effects crew) have appearances in this movie, from Bruce Campbell's welcome cameo right at the end of the movie as a cop, to Ted Raimi's hilarious appearance as the music-loving "Produce Joe", to Sam Raimi (as a butcher) to the incredibly loathsome Danny Hicks (great once again) as the store manager.Well, the gore effects are what most fans of this movie would want to see, and they come thick and fast. Amidst the usual stabbings we have a guy's eyeball being impaled on a spike, a knife cleaving a skull in two, a hydraulic head crushing (very gruesome), a hook in a face and, in the film's gruelling highlight, a man's head being cut in half by a band saw. The effects are bloodily messily but never disturbing, as you know a film which includes a shot of a man being beaten with a severed head isn't playing it straight. INTRUDER is a minor classic in its uncut form, and with all the effects, the imaginative camera-work and the mean streak of humour running right through, it's a real visual feast if nothing else.

TheBlueHairedLawyer Personally my favorite horror film is My Bloody Valentine (1981), but Intruder isn't bad. It follows the story of workers in a supermarket as an unknown killer hunts them down one by one. It has decent acting for a low-budget film, eerie soundtrack (some of it has been used in the Spongebob episodes), a great cast and an original plot similar to the novel Laundromurder by Racheal Bates. It deserves a higher rating and better reputation than what it has, and I highly recommend it. Hey, even if you decide you really hate it, you can still at least enjoy its nostalgia and cheesy, funny moments, and laugh at it's, uh, "low-budgetness". After all, horror movies aren't always meant to be scary, some are just meant to entertain us.

Woodyanders A psycho bumps off the night shift employees at a grocery store that's on the verge of closing. Writer/director Scott Spiegel relates the enjoyable story at a steady pace, makes clever and creative use of the novel supermarket setting, pulls off one doozy of a surprise bummer ending, certainly doesn't skimp on the in-your-face explicit splatter, and further spruces things up with neat touches of wickedly funny black humor. The sound acting by the capable cast keeps the movie humming: Elizabeth Cox makes for an appealing lead as personable cashier Jennifer Ross, Danny Hicks contributes a lively performance as amiable co-owner Bill Roberts, Eugene Robert Glazer does well as stern manager Danny, and Ted Raimi delivers an amusing portrayal of goofball meat department dude Produce Joe. Popping up in cool bit roles are Spiegel as an ill-fated bread delivery man and Bruce Campbell as a nitwit cop at the climax. Of course, the first-rate gore by KNB constitutes as a key draw, with a ferocious set piece involving a band saw rating as the definite gruesome highlight. The stylish and imaginative cinematography by Fernando Arguelles offers a wealth of striking and inventive camera angles (dig those crazy POV shots inside of shopping carts and a rotary phone!). The dynamic score by Basil Poledouris hits the spirited shivery spot. Essential viewing for slice'n'dice fright film fans.
