Directed by Mickey Keating, Vero Maynez, Colin Huerta and Ruby Vallejo star in the home invasion horror thriller movie Invader set for release by Doppelgänger Releasing.
In the film, a young woman arrives in the Chicago suburbs and begins to suspect that something terrible has happened to her missing cousin.
Invader opens in select theaters on February 21 and on digital on March 25
Ana (Vero Maynez) is a long way from home, but eager to visit her cousin Camila in the Chicago suburbs. After Ana’s bus gets delayed, she arrives very late and begins to fear the worst when she can’t get ahold of Camila. Accompanied by Carlo (Colin Huerta), one of Camila’s co-workers, Ana decides to venture on foot to search for her cousin, encountering ominous signs, hostile locals, and the punishingly empty expanse of suburban America. When they arrive at Camila’s house, the night spirals into chaos when Ana and Carlo realize the bizarre and jaw-dropping truth. A lean, mean jolt of unsettling home invasion horror from director Mickey Keating and producer Joe Swanberg, Invader will keep your skin crawling long after the credits roll.
In conversation with Eye For Film, Mickey Keating was asked, Invader is likely to be a divisive film. In a world that is so fractured and divided, why make this type of film? He responded, “I’m not sure. It’s a reflection, and we wanted to make a very American movie in that regard. We wanted to hold up a mirror to what was going on in society, but when ever you make a movie, and you’re trying to please every body, then you’re screwed. So, it was a fun effort to present this to the audience, and say to them, “Look, this is what we wanted to do, this is how we wanted to make it. If you don’t like it, then that’s okay.””
