    Meh...

    I was initially lured to watching the 2022 horror movie "The Stranger" given the movie's somewhat interesting cover. I had never heard about this movie prior to watching it, so I didn't know what I was in for, so writers and directors Mike Clarke and Paul Gerrard had every opportunity to bedazzle and impress me.

    The storyline in "The Stranger", as written by Mike Clarke and Paul Gerrard, started out okay, but about halfway through the 79 minutes, the movie started to lose its momentum and sort of went into a standstill of sorts. Sure, "The Stranger" was watchable, but it was hardly an outstanding, memorable or particularly scary horror experience.

    I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in "The Stranger", but the actors and actresses put on fairly adequate performances, given the scope of the contents of script and storyline. It is a relatively small cast ensemble, with the majority of the movie just revolving around Damien Ashley (playing Kyle), Jennifer K. Preston (playing Amanda) and Isabella Percival (playing Karli).

    Visually then "The Stranger" is a low-key movie. There wasn't much of any special effects being used throughout the course of the 79 minutes that the movie ran for. Not that the movie really needed special effects, as it wasn't such a movie.

    Watchable for what it was, "The Stranger" came and went without leaving a lasting impression on me. The best thing about "The Stranger", actually, was the cover. "The Stranger" offers nothing that haven't already been done or seen in many other home-invasion movies before it. And it was sort of anti-climatic that you never get to know what those darkened human-like creatures actually were.

    My rating of "The Stranger" from writers and directors Mike Clarke and Paul Gerrard lands on a four out of ten stars.

    The garbage

    Funny the 4 first reviews was rated this movie with 10 stars, then followed up with some 8 stars reviews, and after that its only 1-4 stars, guess it was the filmcrew in the beginning who manipulate the ratings , and they did because this movie have absolute too many stars right now , its not a 4,0 movie, more like 3,2 and it will drop sooner or later

    Low budget garbage, direction is on schooltheatre level, acting aswell, the story is even worse, its only strange, the production is perhaps the worst in this trash, camera is just wrong in so many situations, often too close, and sugar on top the teenage daughter look like 30 , and probably is

    Not a good movie, mostly annoying.

    Enjoyable for a budget horror

    It what is says on the tin, a stranger turns up at an inn - something untoward about him, but is he the real concern.....oooooh no!

    I watched this with some friends last night because it was only £1 on Apple TV (complete bargain!) and we sat back thinking - 'ok, this is going to be a laugh; independent unheard of British horror...FOR A £1?! Surely it's going to be Oscar worthy!

    All jokes aside, I have seen a lot of budget horror's in my time (for the love of god, 'Zombie Hunter' anyone ....yeah) but with this being classed as a budget horror, we were all presently surprised.

    Some nice camera work, very desolate and isolated location, a few decent jump scares and the acting was quite good all round. Not going to be beating Halloween or anything but we enjoyed it!

    Worth 80 minutes of your time :)

    Not Awful But

    This seems to be a concept movie from a new studio/director. And so must be taken with a pinch of salt, it's not a 10 by a some way, but not a 1 either.

    Story - there isn't one. The opening scene draws you in thinking oh what's happened, seems daft but let's see. But by the end I'm still scratching my head on what the story was. It has the old classic family member dies, let's move to a remote country house with no neighbours.

    Acting - on the whole is mediocre, but the script can be blamed for that. Some really awful conversations between mother and daughter including one near the beginning. Mother asks daughter to look out for signs as she is driving. They are on a single track driveway to the property, your not going to be looking out for signs. This is just one example of a number of poorly written exchanges. But there are points where it improves sligtly.

    Music - usuall suspense horror music, with the annoying tones when something is about to happen. But acceptable.

    Overall - I'm not going to watch this one again, it's longer than it needs to be but there is some good concepts. Probably should be lower in my ratings but suggest giving it a go anyway.

    Aaarrghhhh

    What a terrible, terrible absolute piece of crap movie. I gave it a fair chance, but should have known better. I don't understand how somebody can concoct such a horrible "movie" and is not ashamed o unleash it upon humanity. A piece of advice to others checking IMBD ratings before watching something. If the reviews are basically divided between 1 and 10 you know that something is fishy and most probably the ones are those to go by. You watch this "masterpiece" until the end and wonder what you have been watching. No coherent story. Nothing scary if just the experience of watching this out which is shocking enough on it's own. There should be the option of giving zero minuses as there seem to be no bottom to what producers nowadays come up with, and when you think it can't get worse one is proved wrong.
