Synapse Films recently announced that they will be releasing a director's cut Blu-ray/DVD combo pack of 1989's Intruder. Directed by Scott Spiegel and featuring Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell (among others), Intruder involves a killer on the loose in a grocery store.
Today, Synapse announced that the first 500 people to purchase the film from their website will receive the original workprint of Intruder, which includes additional and extended scenes:
"ROMULUS, MI - November 8, 2011 - Synapse Films announces an ultraexclusive Special Edition INTRUDER Workprint "NIGHT CREW" DVD-R disc to the first 500 fans who purchase the INTRUDER Blu-ray/DVD Combo directly from www.synapse-films.com. This Special Edition disc is an individually burned DVD-R (not manufactured at a pressing plant) of the original workprint of INTRUDER (aka NIGHT CREW), containing additional scenes, different editing, and extended gore sequences that only appear in this singular edition. Presented in its original workprint state---non-anamorphic and with no final music or sound effects mix---and taken from the director’s sole personal VHS copy, you can even hear director Scott Spiegel giving off-camera direction to the actors in some scenes.
“We want to give fans of the film something unique to relive the days when the only way to see the original uncut version of INTRUDER was through grey-market videocassettes, so each disc will be individually burned for the customer, with a handwritten label and individually numbered from one to five hundred,” says Don May, Jr., President of Synapse Films. “Anyone who has already pre-ordered Synapse's INTRUDER Blu-ray/DVD Combo will have the DVD-R shipped to them along with their order. Once the 500 DVD-R discs are gone... they are gone.”
If you're a fan of this film, you owe it to yourself to head over to synapse-films.com and secure your own copy of INTRUDER along with this extremely limited ultraexclusive special edition DVD-R."
To purchase the film, visit the official Synapse Films website. We have included the previous press release and cover art below:
"It’s 10 pm and the employees of Michigan’s Walnut Lake Supermarket are in for a really bad night. The place is shutting its doors for good, and the night crew has a long shift ahead of them… longer than they think! The lovely check-out girl has a deranged ex-boyfriend, the store’s phone lines are cut, and the employees start dying in the most stomach-churning ways imaginable (courtesy of Academy Award®-winning KNB EFX Group). A deranged killer is on the loose in the grocery store! Can anyone stop this murderous intruder?
Synapse Films is proud to present Scott Spiegel’s INTRUDER, the 'holy grail' of extreme gore cinema, in an all-new 2K high-definition transfer of the original uncut, uncensored version. Sam Raimi (director of THE EVIL DEAD and SPIDER-MAN) and Renée Estevez (TV’s THE WEST WING) star in this cult film classic that critics call “a gorgeous low-budget shocker that has long been one of the best kept secrets of the genre scene” (Alan Simpson, Sex Gore Mutants). Be sure to look for Bruce Campbell (THE EVIL DEAD, TV’s BURN NOTICE) in a cameo role!
