What can I say? There is no better movie than "Intruder" and its only equal is "Army of Darkness".
The film starts out in a large supermarket (and stays there the whole freaking time.) The main character's ex-boyfriend (Craig) has returned to make some trouble with her. It seems she hasn't returned any of his calls...
So Danny Hicks (that's "Bill" to you) and company come over and gang up on this guy. Craig is holding his own, and it finally ends up with a fistfight between Bill and Craig. Suddenly Danny (not Hicks) runs up with another guy, and they finally overtake him. To escape, Craig throws Sam Raimi (Randy) into a Diet Pepsi display.
The eventually find the Punk, and throw him out of the store.
At this point I was sort of dumbfounded, because the movie seemed almost...surreal! From that shot through the telephone, to that fistfight, I was somehow amazed. This is just one of those movies where you can't stop watching until it's over.
Well, at this point the two bosses (Bill and Danny) reveal that they're going to sell the store, and that everyone will have to find new jobs. ("I had two weeks paid vacation coming to me!"-Sam Raimi)
Awhile later, Bill finds Craig outside the store, spying on a half-naked Jenny through the window. He comes charging with his hammer in hand, and there's a major fight, but eventually Craig comes out on top, knocking Bill out with his own hammer.
After a few more (somewhat) surreal scenes, the first murder happens. Then the second. Than the third. This one is my favorite, because I hate Ted Raimi's character, and because of how the headphones are cut in half and how they slide off of his head. So he has a big knife imbedded in his head. Ouch! (The first was Linda, who was stabbed. The second was Danny, who had his eye impaled on a nail.)
Hereafter we have a wide array of painful deaths, such as a head crushed in a trash compactor, and death by butcher's band saw. Unfortunately I've never seen the uncut version, so I didn't see these scenes in all their bloody glory.
Soon the only one left is Jennifer, and she has the bad luck of running into Craig (who broke into the store.) She knocks him out hastily, and JUST THEN, Bill shows up. Seems he wasn't down for the count earlier. Jennifer runs into his arms crying, and he assures her that everything will be alright. He winks, and goes to call the police.
Just then she notices blood all over his hands. He's the killer! He regretfully announces he must kill her too, because he's "crazy about this store!" Craig shows up to lend a helping hand, and eventually it all ends with an exiting climax in which Bill ends up with a knife in his stomach.
Officer Bruce Campbell (and partner Lawrence Bender, the Producer) show up in answer to Jenny's call, but since they (Jen and Craig) are the only ones unharmed, they are blamed for the bloody murders. Bill "confirms" this, and dies laughing as Jennifer screams for the last time.
I liked this ending, because it had Bruce Campbell, and because it was just so ironic.
Overall this movie is just awesome, and the creative shots (such was the floor's point of view when being swept) are sure to please everyone. SEE THIS MOVIE!
