Buffalo 8 has announced the release of Intruder, the latest sci-fi horror film from writer-director Christian Jude Grillo. The film, starring newcomer Dana Godfrey, arrives on cable VOD platforms including Spectrum and Charter, as well as digital streamers Fandango at Home and Tubi, on October 24.
Set against the backdrop of a dying Earth, Intruder follows underground MMA fighter Bree Hewit (Godfrey) who escapes aboard a stolen spacecraft bound for a space station sanctuary. Her relief is short-lived when she discovers more than just a corpse in the ship’s freezer—a deadly stowaway has sabotaged their life support, forcing Bree into a final, brutal fight for survival in the claustrophobic depths of space.
Drawing inspiration from cult production houses like Troma and genre favorites such as Slither and Odd Thomas, Grillo intentionally infused Intruder with a playful, self-aware tone. “Intruder is a film for genre fans who want to see a little bit of everything in a movie,” said Grillo. “Buffalo 8 has been a great partner in understanding that vision and ensuring it reaches audiences everywhere.”
The film marks Dana Godfrey’s feature debut, following months of fight training to prepare for the physically demanding role. The cast also includes Iryna Scarola, D.C. Douglas, Andrew Hunsicker, and Mae Claire. Grillo and Hunsicker produced the film, with executive producers Grady Craig, Matthew Helderman, Jacqueline Hunsicker, and Luke Taylor.
Intruder premieres on digital and cable platforms October 24.
