Intruder
Directed by Scott Spiegel
The overnight crew of a supermarket find themselves pursued by a mysterious maniac in this fun late-80s slasher from regular Sam Raimi mainstay Scott Spiegel, who co-wrote EVIL DEAD 2 and appeared in many of Raimi's films. Spiegel wisely enlisted Raimi himself and Bruce Campbell to play supporting characters. The sickening story - about a group of kids who get slayed while staying late to prepare for a going out of business sale, comes from Lawrence Bender, who would later become famous for producing nearly all of Quentin Tarantino's fantastic films.
Overnight workers at a grocery find themselves pursued by a deadly maniac.

Wanted to like it, ending must have been groundbreaking in the 80's.
Nastalgic!
I first got this movie on a blu-ray dvd, and I’ve gotta say, this movie was very entertaining. While yes, some of the characters are forgettable, but this movie shows everything you need in a 80’s slasher film, creative and gory kills, camp, clear tropes, and a fun theme. The kills in this film were absolutely brutal and fun to watch, especially since the weapons used were common things you would typically find in a grocery store. With a lot of slasher films typically having the same premise, having the film take place in a grocery store makes it very appealing. I also thought that this film had great cinematography for a low-budget film. The only thing I don’t like is how they try to make the abusive ex-boyfriend of the final girl into a hero to root for.
TW: Domestic abuse. The movie was a fun watch air was a little slow from kill to kill. Ending was hella unexpected. I was expecting it to go one way but I was genuinely surprised. Overall it was alright.
i liked this movie its underrated and im surprised I haven't heard of it its got some great kills and effects the first half is paced a bit slower but i feel it adds anticipation until the first kill happens and the movie just gets better from there the ending is different id definitely recommend this id wacth again
