Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's Intruders to Play at SXSW '12 and Distribution News

Faceless minions are not what the movie Intruders is about. Instead, it is about a supernatural force bent on possessing two children who live quite literally worlds apart. This dark shadowy entity is after 13-year old Mia (Ella Purnell) and her father, John Farrow (Clive Owen), can do very little to help save her ... or can he?

Filmmaker Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) helms this movie. The trailer that recently released shows that Mia is an aspiring writer. Her voice over makes for an interesting set up which creates a potentially sinister tone for the film. Her British accent helps add to the ambience, and hopefully this movie will not be another Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. This film seems to have influences from M. Night Shyamalan's Signs as well.

Thankfully the MPAA rating of R is the right step for at least suggesting the chills are indeed going to be creepy authentic than cheap.

With an impressive resume of previous work from both cast and production crew, this film shows plenty of potential. Intruders is set to screen for three days at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Festival in Austin, Texas (running March 9 to 17th) before seeing a wider limited theatrical release in the US on March 30th.

Credits include:

Director: Juan Carlos Fresnadillo.

Writers: Nicolás Casariego (screenplay), Jaime Marques (screenplay).

Cast: Clive Owen (King Arthur), Ella Purnell (Ways to Live Forever), and Carice van Houten (Susie Q, Black Book).
