'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

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

A hidden slasher gem that manages to make use of its single setting story.

Rated: 3.5/4

The meat slicer kill is disgusting, and I love it. Rest in peace, Scott Spiegel.

Cleanup on Aisle 4: Intruder has a novel setting for a slasher flick, but only manages to stock up on genre clichés.

Intruder has a few key elements that scream Sam Raimi, but overall, it's a goofy slasher with lame kills.

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

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
