It's 10pm. The night before Walnut Lake's neighborhood supermarket closes its doors forever. The owners and night crew have a long shift ahead of them… longer than they think! Ace check-out girl, Jennifer (Renee Estevez), has a deranged ex-boyfriend who's fresh out of prison. When he appears outside, weird things start happening. The phone lines are cut, and the night crew starts dying… one by one, in the most gruesome ways imaginable. An ex-cop is trying to find out who the killer is and what possessed him to start the bloody rampage. But is it the ex-boyfriend or is it someone else? (official distributor synopsis)

To tell you the truth, I’ve been watching too many B-movies from the 80s lately and they’re beginning to get on my nerves. What I can say is good in Intruder are mainly the effective second half and a couple of interesting murders. The first half left me with a negative feeling, it’s not entertaining, tense or atmospheric, and nothing would happen if it didn’t exist. The unconvincing actors are somewhat part of the genre, but the very bad direction cannot be ignored. Overall, I wasn’t very impressed. If someone made this today, they would get 50% at most on Filmbooster.

A B-movie that loses points in the main aspect of films of a similar kind: the atmosphere – there is none. The opening is very bland and only in the second half it gets into a decent pace. The right amount of humour with a decent portion of gore effects makes it at least a decent one-view affair.
