Intruder

Creative camera work and over the top gore effects fill Intruder's fairly short run time with enough ingenuity and kinetic energy to power the less than exciting script and characters that frequently fall short of the mark. Evil Dead fans will like knowing Bruce Campbell has a charming cameo towards the end.

I was very interested in seeing this movie for two very specific reason reasons, the main reason being that I work in a grocery store so the idea of a psycho coming to a the market and killing the night crew off really appeals to me and the other reason is that this movie is marketed as starring Bruce Campbell and he's one of my favorite actors of all time. Don't get me wrong, this movie was a total blast and very satisfying for someone who spends most of their time in a grocery store but I was very disappointed to see that Bruce Campbell was only in the film for about 2 minutes at the very end. The movie was good but that really let me down.

The acting isn't great but it doesn't really have to be because this is your typical 80's slasher and I thought Sam and Ted Raimi were awesome in their roles. The same pretty much goes for the story but there are very few slashers that have well thought out story lines so I think it's pretty much fine. So what, do you ask, can make up for a movie with okay acting and a weak story? The gore, of course! The gore in this film is great. I don't want to give the creative deaths away but you'll have to check it out for yourself.

If anyone reading this happens to work in a grocery store, they absolutely need to see movie for the experience. I can't recommend it enough if you work at one. As for everyone else, you should all check it out too because it is a really good time.

INTRUDER is a fun, gory movie set in a grocery store. A crew of workers is marking down prices on the eve of their big "Going out of business" sale. A thuggish customer gets tossed out, and soon the murders begin.

The obvious suspect becomes less so as the ordeal unfolds.

This movie is inventive, making great use of its single location. There are several clever camera angles and shots (i.e.: looking up through a telephone, a bucket of water, etc.) that help to break up the static and keep things moving.

The characters are humorous, two of whom are played by the Raimi brothers (Sam and Ted). There are also cool cameos by none other than Bruce Campbell and two members of the old Green Acres cast!

The gore factor starts out mild, then accelerates at an alarming rate until body parts are really gushing! There are a couple of jaw-droppers that any true gorehound will appreciate!

Two bloody stumps way up!...

From the makers of The Evil Dead we got a slasher flick that for some reason is kind of a hidden gem. Not many people have seen this movie. I personally bought an Uncut version off a grey market site for 5 bucks. I should add that it was worth it.

Story takes place in a supermarket which seems to only sell cereal...not really, but they like to shoot scenes down that isle. The workers are closing for the night and they just want to finish up and head home. Well that's a shame since there's a killer in the store and the workers start dropping like flies. That's pretty much how the story goes.

But the movie itself was done pretty damn well. You have a cast that was definitely into this movie. They tried to seriously pull it off. There's some dark humor, some great lighting effects and some really good gore effects. I unfortunately was a little disappointed in the amount of gore. I kept on hearing there was tons of it....there's really not that much. But there is enough to keep an average gore fan happy. The movie unfortunately was not scary, but don't dismay, the movie has a special charm, that will most likely keep you (horror fan) happy.

Bruce Campbell is in the movie for a total of about 2 minutes, so even though it says his name on the cover...don't buy/rent it because of him. Intruder is a pretty fun flick to watch. It definitely has more positives than negatives and is better than most slashers. If you're into slasher films, this is definitely one you should add to your collection.

"Intruder" wasn't a bad movie. I expected less. It's about the night crew at Walnut Lake Supermarket being stalked down by a killer one night at work--the last night, before the store closes. The story takes just a little to get going, but it's entertaining the whole time. The killings seem to go pretty quickly, and the climax is fantastic! I just love the setting. I didn't particularly think ALL those freaky camera angles were so great. (ie: in the phone, under the sweeping broom) But some were really cool. Anyhow, I definitely recommend this for at least the great climax. The conclusion is a little unsatisfying, but still pretty good. Great movie!
