31 DAYS OF DREW - DAY 24: INTRUDER

Every horrorhound's favorite month is upon us, and to celebrate, I'll be dishing out a personal pick from the genre for every day in October. Some will be obvious and rather unoriginal (sorry that I like movies other people like), while some will be a little more oddball and off-the-wall. Some may even challenge your idea of what constitutes a "horror" movie. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the month with some good movies, even if they aren't ones I recommend!

Today's Pick: Intruder (1989)

So, here's what some might consider the more straightforward version of yesterday's pick. It's a slasher with a small cast of characters, a mysterious villain and some very memorable kills. But, there's a lot that separates Intruder from most of its peers. Not only is it from the same group of artists who brought the world the most ferociously original horror movie of its time, The Evil Dead, but it also features the very first gore effects by the now established masters of the craft, Robert Kurtzman, Greg Nicotero and Howard Berger, better known as K.N.B. EFX.
