INTRUDERS by Adam Schindler

Being afraid of open spaces and crowds is unbearably difficult. It would be impossible to go to the BIFFF, for example. But for Anna, that’s the least of her worries. As the owner of a huge colonial mansion deep into the American west, she can’t even get a tan in her garden. Saturday afternoon shopping sprees or improvised barbecue nights at the neighbors are also out of the question. Her only confident is Dan, a home meal delivery guy to whom she confesses she has no idea what to do with all that money stashed under her mattress. She might give it away to charity… or simply wait for three strangers with bad intentions to break into her house. Fleeing outside not being an option, Anna is forced to play a game of cat and mouse with the intruders, just like she used to do it with her psychotic dad. Except this time, she’s the cat.

His older brother had his triumphs with his own series of “home invasion” movies called Home Alone. But there’s no reason Rory Culkin can’t have his own franchise, albeit a much tougher one. That why he entrusted director Adam Schindler and two screenwriters from V/H/S Viral, to cook up a surprising and vicious horrific home invasion thrill ride. Tom and Jerry wouldn’t be able to watch it.
