Juan Carlos Fresnadillo’s ''Intruders'' will open San Sebastian Film Festival




 The opening gala
of the 59th San Sebastian International Film Festival will present Intruders, the new
film from director Juan
Carlos Fresnadillo
(Intacto,
28 Weeks Later)
and one of the most eagerly awaited Spanish movies of the coming season.


ntruders is a
horror/thriller featuring an international cast starring Clive Owen, Carice van Houten,
Daniel Brühl,
Pilar López de Ayala
and Kerry Fox.
The screenplay was written by the author Nicolás
Casariego
(Nadal Prize finalist for his novel “Cazadores de
luz”) and the director Jaime
Marqués
(Ladrones).


Produced by Apaches Entertainment,
Antena 3 Films
and Universal
Pictures
, Intruders
was shot in London, Madrid and Segovia. Universal
Pictures International
will distribute the film worldwide.


Intruders tells the
parallel tale of two families whose lives are thrown off track by menacing
apparitions: in Spain, a mother protects her son from a faceless stranger;
meanwhile, in the UK, a young girl has terrifying dreams of Hollowface, a demon
who becomes a real danger to the girl and her family. According to Fresnadillo,
the film “reflects my
love of the darkest visual universe, of the demons buried in our unconscious”.
But
more than a simple tale of supernatural horror, Intruders is an intense psychological
drama taking the family as its central theme.


Intruders will be screened
at the opening gala of the 59th San Sebastian International Film Festival on
September 16th.
