Eli Roth Presents: The Stranger

Great flick! It keeps you involved from start to finish. Its amazing what a good director can do on a meager budget.

Very ok, not a bad movie wont watch it again though. Gore wasnt that good and a lot of the characters were boring and 1 dimensional. Story was not very original

Not what I thought it would be.

For an Eli Roth movie, I was very disappointed. Slow and predictable. Acting really was not that good either.

Good not great still 5 for the story line

I noticed a lot of very bad reviews on this movie, watched it anyway, came away with the thought, it wasnt as bad as some make out. Not every movie is going to have an award performance by someone in the flick but the actors do OK in this one. Could be better, sure, but I still enjoyed the time spent watching it, it aint that bad. Take a chance, if you hate it, blame me.

This film is terrible. I can ignore bad acting and even bad writing if the story is interesting or original (Strippers vs. Werewolves, for example). But in this train-wreck, *every single character* behaves so erratically, that I suspect the author has never met a real person. And while I appreciate someone (trying) to freshen up the genre by tweaking the rules, each scene introduced so many gaping plot holes regarding those tweaks, that it quickly devolved into utter nonsense. **** SPOILERS BELOW **** For those who want more specifics, Im happy to provide them: *** When youre a cop, even a dirty one, and you *know* that someone just witnessed your son and his two buddies commit either aggravated assault or murder, why would you possibly try to hide the body instead of just going with it was self defense, especially since a character actually *suggests* this? *** If youre a teenager who just witnessed a dirty cop try to hide a body, why would you leave incredibly obvious, identifying evidence when you move said (not actually dead) body? Especially when you know that *both* parties have seen you? *** If youre a vampire who can pass on your disease by zombie rules, you hate killing people, and youre completely committed to not letting anyone else get infected (and intend to kill them if they do), why would you remain unresponsive in scene after scene where people are about to splatter your blood everywhere (brutal beatings, guns to your head, knives in your face, etc)? *** If you are a kid, and you witnessed a cop try to conceal a murder, and then said cop, clearly drunk, overweight, sitting in his patrol car with his seat belt on and gun still in holstered, tells you to get in the car, why the *hell* would you actually do it? Why not run? And it just gets worse from there. I cant believe that anyone, after reading this script, was willing to produce, shoot, or act in this movie.

Very slow and boring. It sounded dubbed the voices where stiff. Only watched all the way until the end because I rented it.

The acting in this movie is horrendous. The Mother character is the worst. That woman cant act to save her life, let alone this movie. The cop is nearly as bad, and his son is pretty terrible at acting too. Their line deliveries are so bad it take you out of an already weak and silly movie. They play the pronoun game a lot, and no one ever explains anything. Its pretty bro in some high school screenplay final wrote this and now its a movie. Dont bother, its a waste.

Its slow from beginning to end. The film was described as being a vampirism epidemic, there was none. I dont think 2 qualifies as an epidemic. The movie didnt flow and sometimes made no sense at all. No close relationships were formed, explored, or explained. The movie would leave you with many questions, but only if you cared and you wont. Its tedious to watch.
