Invader is a 2024 horror film in which a young woman arrives in the Chicago suburbs and begins to suspect that something terrible has happened to her missing cousin but soon realises that her greatest fears don’t even begin to scratch the surface.
Written and directed by Mickey Keating (Crooks; Offseason; Psychopaths; Carnage Park; Darling; Pod; Ritual).
The American Forager Films-General Assembly co-production stars Vero Maynez, Colin Huerta and Ruby Vallejo.
Reviews:
“Around the halfway point, “Invader” announces exactly what kind of film we’re watching, answering questions that were lingering in the early sequences […] Writer-director Keating knows how to deliver the goods in a lean fashion, with Invader clocking in at just 70 minutes and ending on a fantastically creepy note of utter dread.” Chicago Sun Times
“As opposed to the composed, slow-burn veneer of Offseason, however, Keating goes for nervous, jittery camerawork intended to put us in the same shaken state of mind as Ana, played with a gripping mix of distress and resolve by Maynez […] Keating has clearly found a team right on his wavelength, and their commitment to Invader’s aggressive technique will keep responsive audience members jumpy and tense for the duration of the brief runtime.” Rue Morgue
