Cast
Production
Intruder marked the main attraction directorial debut of Scott Spiegel. The film was partially based around Spiegel's experience working at the real Walnut Lake Market in Michigan.
It was also something of a remake of an earlier Super-8 short motion picture by Spiegel. The short was a slasher story called Night Crew, and featured a more Halloween-inspired killer.[citation needed]
Intruder was filmed at an empty grocery store, which was rented to the crew of the film.

Bill Roberts : Here comes fucking Parker, walking down nine miles, swinging the God damn head by the hair in one hand and his sandwich in the other. All All. Sign In.The shelves were empty and bare and the crew had a company that specialized in damaged goods deliver over two tons of defective merchandise to stock the store.
Release
The film was originally entitled The Night Crew, but distributors felt that the film would be more marketable if it was given a more generic slasher film title; thus it was released as Intruder.[citation needed]
The Paramount VHS video cover (along with various other video and DVD releases) and the film's trailers all disclose the identity of the killer, thus spoiling the film's dramatic tension.
Bruce Campbell, Sam Raimi, and Ted Raimi were all heavily promoted by Paramount as the stars of the motion picture, and their names feature prominently on video and DVD artwork. Sam Raimi actually plays a supporting character, Ted Raimi has a small supporting role, barely more than a bit part, and Bruce Campbell appears in the final scene in a brief cameo.
The back cover of the DVD release makes it appear that Renée Estevez is the heroine, whereas in the film she is the first character to die.
The original VHS release from Paramount Home Video contained the R-rated version, which was missing five minutes of gore footage.
Nearly all of KNB's effects footage was removed. The US DVD release by Wizard Video presents the director's cut.[2]Synapse Films released an uncensored version of Intruder on combo DVD/Blu-ray on 13 December [3] In , 88 Films released the film uncensored on DVD and Blu-ray with bonus features, double-sided cover art and a restored and remastered version of the film.
In , Full Moon Features released a 30th anniversary DVD which was remastered from the authentic camera negative and features the uncensored version of the film.[4]
