This is my second film for Deon Taylor and it’s chock full of Dennis Quaid insanity! I saw this a few times in the theater with a crowd, and I finally understood what Deon meant by “interactive film making.” When people are screaming at the screen and having a communal experience at a thriller like this, you know you’ve found your audience!
The Intruder is a home invasion story, and I got the idea that my percussion section should be made up of home building supplies, so I made what I called the Cacophony Cage, a giant cube made of PVC pipe from which I dangled air ducts, sheet metal, pipes, planks of wood, or anything I could find at Home Depot and stood inside it to be able to bash on them and create parts of the score. And I grunted into a microphone, and I abused a cello, and I screamed and used construction equipment to layer into the score, and by the end of my personal descent into madness, I had the score for The Intruder…
Dennis Quaid told me at the premiere “you gave this movie so much emotion and intensity with your music!” But I can’t do that without great performances from him, Micheal Ealy and Meagan Good in the first place. They were all terrific!
