Sexylocher Masterful Movie

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Nick Duguay This film was alright but it certainly wasn't groundbreaking or anything. Intruder was a fairly typical slasher, and the fact that it was released in 1989, about the time the entire slasher craze was over, is pretty telling; this movie sort of sums up the entire reason that the slasher subgenre was falling out of fashion- it had gotten boring. Intruder isn't exactly a BAD film, but it's extremely unoriginal. The plot is very basic and straightforward, there's really nothing going for it, and the only reason it exists is to serve as a backdrop for the killings. And the killings aren't all that spectacular either. They're mostly rehashes of scenes from earlier slashers and special effects, while adequate, do nothing to save them. Everything that happens plot-wise is more than obvious and the writers rely heavily on the whole 'final girl' thing, which doesn't really work out that well. Despite all of this, Intruder is still pretty fun and while I wouldn't re-watch it, it's not a bad way to waste an hour and a half. Just make sure you have a beer or five close at hand.

gwnightscream This 1989 horror film features a mysterious killer lurking about in a Michigan supermarket where he dismembers the night crew one by one. Is it someone who works in the store or someone else? This isn't a bad late 80's slasher flick with plenty of gore and a bit of slapstick humor. Sam Raimi (Director of The Evil Dead & Spider-Man Trilogy), Ted Raimi (Evil Dead II), Dan Hicks (Darkman) and Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead Trilogy, Maniac Cop) make appearances and there's great, gruesome make-up effects by Greg Nicotero, Howard Berger & Robert Kurtzman as usual. If you're a fan of horror/slasher flicks, this may be up your alley.

tdrish For me, the mysterious part of it all is the title of the film. Why is it called Intruder? I've heard of intruders, they invade homes, they usually look for something. Intruders usually don't show up late at night in a supermarket ( that wouldn't make the market so super, now would it? ) Intruder, my arse, you have a mad slasher on your hands...while you still have your hands. And if your dipping into this, thinking that it's another one of those horror flicks where the gross stuff is done off camera, just because it's a low budget movie, you'd better think twice: Intruder delivers the goods in GRAPHIC VIOLENCE. This gory shocker just may put all the other wannabe slasher movies in its place. Our story opens up in local supermarket getting ready to close. The young female cashier is harassed by one of the final customers for the night, an old flame. A little dispute finds him exited out of the building, ah, they were closing anyways. Shortly afterward, a body count begins to rise within the store, a VERY HIGH body count. The deaths are downright grisly, brutal, and not for the faint of heart...okay? You've been warned. There were even a couple of scenes where I almost looked away, and I thought I'd seen them all, since I've seen so many in this genre. Hey! You have to hand it to the deli department, they have so many gadgets that can be used as weapons. Meat slicer, an army of knives and meat cleavers, oh man! Killer is going to be on cloud nine in this store. In my opinion, this is one of the best 80's slasher flicks, and I recommend it to all that are a fan of Sam Raimi, the great guy who brought you Evil Dead and Spiderman 2002. Oh, and don't forget to lock your doors...you can never be too safe these days.

utahman1971 Really, where is the gore everyone is talking about in the Unrated version. It was like rated R gore in it. Not one bit as close as Dead Alive gore comparison. Come on people. Gross out gore, where? It was nothing. I could of ate a feast of food while watching this and be fine. This was nothing to be sick about.It would jump back and forth from something happening to nothing in slow motion of nothing happening in every minute through out the film. I seen better horror movies than this in the 80's. The ending was terrible. I can see why there was no sequel. Acting was good, and gore was descent, but no gore fest. For the people that think this is gory, then watch Dead Alive. Big difference.Too bad some people lose their stomach over nothing.
