The Stranger in My Home

I knew it would be Lifetime levels of cringe, but because it has a couple of my favorites in it, I didn't expect it to be quite THIS bad. 🤣

Really, really bad acting by most of the cast, cheesy, knew exactly what was going to happen about ten minutes into the movie, lacking transitions and it would just pop up with a new scene/storyline out of nowhere, and really weird to follow with way too many coincidences or weird insertions for "drama" that were really stupid, my husband and I laughed through most of it. I love Chris Carmack and Sophia Bush was a favorite from One Tree Hill, but not even they were enough to kind of save it.

I've never written a movie review before, but I came across There's a Stranger in My Home after seeing a trailer on TikTok that made it look intense and intriguing. It hooked me just enough to spend $6 to rent it, but unfortunately, that's where the excitement ended.

The acting was pretty bad, the story was super predictable, and the whole thing just felt cringey. It had the vibe of a cheesy made-for-TV movie, but not in a fun or entertaining way. I kept waiting for it to get better, but it never really did.

If you're thinking about watching it, I'd say skip it-unless you're in the mood to laugh at something unintentionally funny.

Tense, twisty, and surprisingly emotional, The Stranger in My Home delivers a psychological thriller that hooks you from the start and refuses to let go. The plot unfolds with sharp precision, keeping you guessing through every reveal and reversal.

But it's the performances that elevate the film. Sophia Bush brings quiet intensity to the role, while Chris Carmack balances charm and menace in a way that's downright chilling. Their chemistry makes every scene feel like a ticking time bomb.

It's a smart, gripping ride-one that proves you don't need loud action to leave a lasting impact. Well done!

I don't know what you think this movie is but it is not what you are thinking. Definitely not what the trailer makes you think it is.

The movie has a "TV" vibe all over it. The production quality, the editing (switching between scenes), everything smells low budget.

The trailer looked intriguing. So I decided to give it a try. The acting is Okay and convincing enough but characters' actions are not believable. That is not how humans would act when being in these situations. Fortunately, the movie is not that long, which is why when I realized it wasn't worth the watch, it was already half-way through. The movie ended just like you thought it would end.

It's the first time I dedicate time to review a movie....

What just happend to the last 2h of my life?! I. Will never get them back!

The director is a genius! He was able to use techniques for coffee comercial, videoclips with light on the dancer. Have no line of thought in editing from squares every minute to no squares at all. Every scene is cut with no momentum at all with the characters they are writen by 10 year old.

How do people invest money and the actors acept to even be part of this. Its career suicide.

Please some one save the actors they were kidnapped to make this movie.

This is watching now the end of the movie...

Katie Katie sweetheart have some water.

Family movie night?

Then the director decides to use Frankenstein as a revival moment...

It just getting better as I'm writing this review... thank you!

No spoiler but it even has a moment of Call of Duty!

And a beautiful ending with scrable.

Thank you I take my words I'm inspired!

Like a hit and run!
