Stray

If you are looking for a blood-and-gore horror film you will probably be disappointed with STRAY but if you enjoy tense, suspenseful psychological thrillers with plenty of twists and engaging characters you will be hooked. This film held my attention from the first scene right to the very end and, to be honest, I have found it hard to stop thinking about it. The story follows Jennifer, a young woman with a devastating secret who wrongly believes that she can escape her past. She returns to the small town where she was born hoping to get a job, find a man and live a normal life but what follows is an intriguing series of twists, turns and revelations that gradually reveal the truth about her. Although this is a low budget movie the acting and cinematography are solid and the story is completely absorbing. Recommended.

Not quite sure what I just watched? The movie skipped key parts, so much so that it was hard to tell who was who, and what they were all about. In one scene a guy has an affair, and in the next, the woman is pregnant? What the....? Also the lead character was one crazy girl. I cannot imagine any man letting a nasty skank like her into their home. Any guy with half a brain would run away from her as fast as possible. Then there is the ending; I have no idea what that was all about? I'd suggest avoiding this mess of a movie.

Stray is a really interesting indie film. I watch indie films for unique storytelling that you might not see in traditional (and often repetitive) Hollywood movies, and Stray delivers. Director Nena Eskridge and team have created a very complex and meaty role for the lead actress here (Gabrielle Stone I believe is her name) and she gives a good performance. Stray deals with a number of really interesting issues and themes such as vulnerability, violence, and a yearning for family and comfort. The film is tense at many points and definitely had my attention throughout. I'd definitely recommend Stray for those looking for a quality indie suspense film!

Awful. This "movie" earns all of it's one star glory on IMDb's rating scale with 1 being awful.

I watched, as it dragged along, thinking it will get somewhere. Maybe. 3/4 of the way in to the go nowhere script I stayed to figure out if this was a Lifetime movie about a crazy bee otch, like they all are from that network. I assume it is by the commercial breaks interspersed throughout and the awful acting - if that's what you would call it.

I was successful in figuring out the person who reviewed this before me was obviously involved or related to someone in this abortion. The acting left a LOT to be desired. As for the cinematography described by the other viewer as being so good, well I busted out laughing reading the review. (Hint: if you're going to write the review as a favor, next time dummy down all the Oscar worthy dialogue.) The script was laughable. A sophomore in film school could've done better. The reference to Psycho by the other reviewer was another clue they're involved in the making. This isn't even in the same ballpark!

Do yourself a favor...don't waste any time on even pushing the play icon on this drivel. To exercise even that much inertia is more then "Stray" deserves.

There are only 71 rates on here, so you know there are a lot of fake reviews bumping it up. It has a very low budget feel. The acting wasn't great, but not terrible either. With better directing and production value, it would've hidden many of the actors shortcomings. The story was slow and hard to take seriously. Not the worst I've seen, but I wouldn't recommend it.
