2/5

The Stranger feels like a piece of genre revisionism only in its deliberate, grinding pace, not in any refreshing turns of the plot.

C-

The characters are uninteresting, the mood is dour, and the big supernatural twist barely elicits a shrug. No thanks.

It's a lousy little film that is so dark and joyless that it leaves you feeling like you wasted your time watching it.

It’s not only the worst “Chilean” film released in 2015, it’s the worst film released this year, period.

The genre deserves better, audiences deserve better, and the people of Chile deserve better than this lazy, artless nonsense.

While it's in no way perfect, there's enough going on to keep you guessing where it's headed.

That was so bad. Found myself completely agitated by the time it ended. Story was dragging on and on and across the board, the worst acting I’ve ever seen in any movie.

Buena historia aunque tengo que admitir que empieza y se desarrolla mejor de lo que termina. El bajo presupuesto y, especialmente, el ritmo lento no le hacen ningún favor.

This was such a neat take on the vampire movie. I loved every single minute of it... It's nice to see something fresh and the vampire theme.

The worst movie!! The characters are CLEARLY foreign with terrible "Americanized" accents. The characters are boring and I just wanted them all to die. I couldn't related to anybody. My God.. I tired even writing this review but I want people to know this is a terrible movie!!

This was a surprising small, independent horror film that was actaully intelligent and didn't dumb everything down with needless and obvious exposition. Too often horror/thrillers act as if their audiences can't understand what is happening so it was refresing to see one such movie not take that route. While the pacing could have been better (sometimes it was a little to slow in the build up), The Stranger is definently a gem of a movie especially for those who like this genre.
