Eli Roth Presents: The Stranger

Preview was the best part

Good for a scary night on the couch.

The Stranger was a strangely compelling, dramatic vampire movie quite unlike most of them that come out. This was a breath of fresh air for a genre that has been played out to a crazy extent, it was reminiscent of the fantastic Near Dark while remaining new and original

The acting was pretty good, but the story was a who cares sort of a thing. Director: your audience has to care

Was okay but really really dull and slow until about the last 20 minutes. They couldve done better with the first 45 minutes, the first 45 minutes is basically the antagonist beats up the protagonist and the next scene is the protagonist beats up the antagonist.... ect et for more than half of the film. god if the vampjre protagonist wasnt so damn depressed in the film maybe he couldve just finished the job in the first 45 minutes. So many things in the plotline dont move along or get complicated because the protagonist is all moody and dark so he doesnt say or do things that would resolve issues and cease events from escalating or getting complicated....its very frustrating......ts sorta hard to explain but you would understand if you saw the film.

The bad reviews here are a bum rap on this film. I liked it a lot and I have no truck with the many mediocre horror films Ive suffered through for love of the genre. I watch just about any supernatural horror film that comes out and this one is far above average in every way. It was well written, acted, produced, etc. The music was particularly good. Reminded me of Let the Right One In in certain ways.
