Intrusion: Disconnected

This is the long awaited sequel from writer/producer Craig Everett Earl's 2015 creepy thriller 'Intrusion'. Mr. Earl and crew waste no time keeping up the creepiness of the connection between Holly and Ray. Some time has passed since the tragic events of the first film and Holly is still nowhere near living a normal life. Convinced Ray is still alive since the police never found his body in the wreckage of the paramedic van's accident. The nightmares come nightly as Holly wakes up screaming most nights staying with friends just trying to find a way to deal with it. But the gloves are off this time as the anniversary of the horrific event in Holly's life draws near as there is a slaughter happening and it is slowly closing in on Holly. Craig dives deep into the two characters of Holly and Ray to expand their backstory and show their connection in this bloody sequel. Again they rely heavily on the Holly and Ray characters to move the story along more than blood or sex that is thrown into most Indy films to move them along. This is a unique independent film for the reason it is a true thriller which you do not get much in the low budget world these days and for that I give it 3 out of 4 stars. Katie Stewart and Craig Everett Earl, remember their names as I can see bigger budgeted projects coming their way soon as they are super talented people.

I have never been a fan of many sequels. It is a rarity when I find one that meets and/or exceeds the original. Intrusion:Disconnected certainly soars above it's predecessor. If you have seen the original, which was quite good, I am sure you will agree that the writing on Disconnected is more meticulous. Better executed. And over-all, superior. Actress Katie Stewart outshines her prior role as Holly. And digs deeper this round to provide more depth to the character. The score perfectly suits the tension of the film. And the bar set for the production value appears to be much higher on Disconnected. If you love 80s slasher films then you must put this on your "to watch" list.

It's truly the last 45 minutes that that make this film! It's decently solid up to that point, but (no spoilers) the third act is elevated beyond the average thriller. Good performances, twists that are well executed - this is one well worth the price of admission.

I really enjoy a film like this that makes me feel nostalgi. As if I found it on the video shelf on a Friday night.

I was super impressed with the performance(s) of Katie Stewart & Tiffany Shepis. The addition of Keith McGill was excellent, I wish we would have seen more of him. Perhaps going toe to toe w/our stalking killer. Overall this film is very enjoyable and a few times it even had me thinking this is more than a horror film. Seeing our lead Holly dealing w/PTSD and how those around Holly dealing w/her and her situation seems to be a perspective into those that have been stalked. Sometimes negative yet realistic it's these interactions that had me thinking... more than a horror movie. However the ending is total horror goodness. I always enjoy a film where you can tell everyone involved loves the genre and has given 100%. Yes it's a budget horror move however if there is one con amongst all the pros, the film may have benefited from some editing for pacing. But that's just me being picky.

A strong 4 out of 5 from Horror Orman.

Intrusion Disconnected is a solid film. The writing has matured significantly since the first film. And is one of the few films where the sequel surpasses it's predecessor. Well worth the watch if you are a fan of 80s style slasher films.
