Terrible...cliches abound and the script was apparently written by a hedgehog!
"Strange People" is a very old fashioned and stupid film...one where the script abounds with cliches, improbabilities and silliness. I cannot emphasize enough just how bad this film is!
One by one, folks start arriving at a house. Using a variety of pretext, they all were led to this place. Soon they realize that each was on a jury about a year ago...a jury in which they voted guilty...and as a result, a man is soon to be executed. Soon, however, someone seems to die and the folks all learn a lesson about circumstantial evidence and they all have a good laugh. But the laugh's on them, as the man really is dead and soon all sorts of strange happenings occur.
The dialog is very, very stilted. The action in the film is improbable to the point of being ridiculous and you can see why tiny Chesterfield Productions never became a big player in Hollywood! Uggh!!
