Daniel Brühl in opening film at San Sebastián International Film Festival

26.07.2011

Daniel Brühl, German Shooting Star 2003, plays alongside Clive Owen in the drama-thriller INTRUDERS by Spanish director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 WEEKS LATER). The film will be screened as an opening gala of the 59th San Sebastián International Film Festival on September 16th.

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 (source: www.sansebastianfestival.com).
