The Stranger

About This Movie

The Stranger (2014) is a curious blend of horror and mystery, set against the eerie backdrop of Canada’s North-West. The film unravels through flashbacks, gradually peeling back the layers of Martin’s dark quest. He’s got this horrifyingly intense connection with his wife Ana, who’s ensnared by her own bloodlust, much like him. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build, and the atmosphere is thick with dread. There’s a rawness to the practical effects that lends an unsettling realism to the supernatural elements. Performances are haunting, especially the dynamic between the lead characters, which adds depth to the unsettling themes of love, addiction, and the struggle of morality in the face of monstrosity.
