Review: Intrusive (2024)

Eric Shapiro’s INTRUSIVE is a wide-awake nightmare non-reliant on worn horror tropes, cheap pop-up scares, or even darkly lit scenes. Instead, Shapiro weaves a tale of subtle psychological horror utilizing Hitchcockian cinematography, and Asian horror aesthetics with hints of the Exorcist and Rosemary’s Baby. Shapiro brings authenticity with his knowledge of psychic mediums and the dangers traversed when venturing into the depths of the psyche. Rhoda Jordan Shapiro, in the lead role, makes an amazing and unnerving transformation, an oscillation between fearfulness and gripping control. An acting masterclass in creepiness sans makeup or prosthetics. The battle rages between the ancient and the technological, culminating in a postmodern deconstruction of the family. A tour de force of unrelenting terror, Eric Shapiro’s INTRUSIVE is not to be missed.

—David North-Martino author of WOLVES OF VENGEANCE and the forthcoming YEAR OF THE DEMON
