The Intruder
Watch TrailerAdam Cramer, a slick young architect, arrives in a small Southern town to sell his family's property. His return coincides with the court-ordered desegregation of the local high school. Cramer, spotting an opportunity for profit and influence, aligns himself with local segregationists led by the fiery rabble-rouser Sam Griffin. Exploiting racial tensions and economic anxieties, Cramer masterminds a campaign of intimidation, organizing rallies and distributing inflammatory literature. His calculated manipulation fans the flames of bigotry, tearing the community apart. As the violence he incites escalates, Cramer's facade of righteous crusader cracks, revealing the hollow opportunist beneath and forcing a brutal confrontation with the chaos he engineered.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Roger Corman directs a fierce, low-budget punch not just about racism, but about the mechanics of hatred as a career move. William Shatner is chillingly effective as the calculating outsider who treats bigotry as a marketable commodity.
What lingers after the credits is the film's raw, almost documentary-like anger and its prescient focus on the opportunists who weaponize division. A brutal, essential piece of pulp filmmaking. — MovieFinder Editorial

The sweaty, claustrophobic tension of a town poisoning itself.
