Trailer for ‘Intruders’: Prepare to Get Your Face Scared Off

By  · Published on February 16th, 2012

Either the mulitple-impling title of Juan Carlos Fresnadillo’s Intruders is not entirely apt, or marketing for the film is playing some serious tricks on us. Titles aside, the 28 Weeks Later helmer is back with a new horror flick that might just scare your face right off ‐ or, if not yours, perhaps some of the film’s stars. The film sees Clive Owen as a dad whose creative 13-year-old daughter (Ella Purnell) tells her class a story about a scary, faceless creature that visits kids during the night. And then the creature (“Hollow Face”) just goes ahead and shows right up ‐ at least, that’s how it looks in this new trailer.

The film’s official synopsis explains the situation as such: “Though no one can see him, Hollow Face lurks in the corners, desperately desiring love but only knowing how to spread fear and hate…The line between the real and the imaginary blurs as fissures start to open within the family unit.” And while that’s terrifying enough, perhaps the film’s title is spot-on, because that same synopsis also tells us that this “is the chilling story of two children living in different countries, each visited nightly by a faceless being who wants to take possession of them.” So why are we only meeting Owen and Purnell? I wonder…

Keep your eyes open and your mouth wide, and check out the new trailer for Intruders after the break.

Intruders showed in limited European markets last year after its premiere at TIFF, and it will finally hit the States in March, with its U.S. premiere at SXSW and a limited release on March 30.
