A deranged drifter infiltrates a faded Hollywood star’s crumbling estate—and her life.
SAVAGE INTRUDER
She loved and trusted him until he cut off her head.
An aging actress living in her Hollywood mansion with a retinue of elderly servants employs a new, mentally disturbed, personal assistant who schemes to takeover the large estate.
Proof that old Hollywood glamour doesn’t die—it just gets a little creepier.
Miriam Hopkins plays Hollywood decay incarnate, while David Garfield’s Vic oozes menace as he worms his way into her broken-down mansion. Savage Intruder is both a Gothic Hollywood melodrama and a twisted outsider home invasion, where the faded glamour is as thick as the creeping dread.
