Sharai Bohannon A Nightmare On Fierce Street Podcast 'Intruder' has a lot going on and some of it is cool. However, some of it isn't and that makes the quick runtime feel longer than it truly is. Style points for making grocery stores scarier than they already are. Rated: 2/5 Dec 31, 2024 Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore Intruder's effective due to the fact it's one of the slasher sub-genre's best offerings from the 1980s and leans towards a gory capitalist critique. Rated: 4/5 May 1, 2019 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed A hidden slasher gem that manages to make use of its single setting story. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 5, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Rich C Amazing Film! Now on my all time favorite movie list. So much good stuff in this one. A must watch! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/05/25 Full Review Trav J A true 80's slasher. It takes a little bit to get going but it's setting up a good story with great characters in the meantime. A must for slasher fans. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/05/25 Full Review Stanny R Very standard slasher with little to offer. Some of the kills are exceptional but apart from that Lita full of lacklustre acting and the usually horror tropes. The unexpected ending was actually surprising although seemed a little pointless. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/25 Full Review Kaden S It’s a movie that I think deserves more recognition. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/25 Full Review Daniel C. M One of the finest and most underrated Slasher ever. Great characters in both acting and writing, no one feels unbelivable or unlikeable; great atmosphere and setting; very nice kills and gore that never feels unrealistic or too much despite the fact there is plenty of it; and the greatest thing about this flick: it will be the fastest 1h30min of your life; no seriously, the pacing here is ridiculous (in a good way), you will never feel bored at this movie, it feels like watching a 40 minute short. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/08/24 Full Review Melissa L Maybe all of the low ratings are from people born after the '80s. I was a young adult in the late '80s, and, as a horror fan since I was a kid, I've seen a lot of '80s horror films when they were new. I don't remember seeing this one. I think this was a great low-budget horror film...and Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi were also in this. Recommended! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/06/24 Full Review Read all reviews
