Spoilers follow ... - The Stranger review by NP
This mournful, moody horror story from Chile seems to have slipped under the radar a little. Written and directed by Guillermo Amoedo, it features drifter Martin (Cristobal Tapia Montt). His wife is dead, and he has no apparent concern for his own continued existence. Co-produced by Eli Roth, 'The Stranger' moves at such a pace, that there's no time to feel mournful although the ultimate tone of the piece is melancholy indeed.
It's a cleverly and carefully constructed story in which nothing happens without a reason. Lieutenant De Luca (Luis Gnecco) is a villain of some merit, so unapologetically evil, that you're willing the very worst for him. I'm loathe to say any more for fear of spoiler - this is a film that really should be approached with no prior knowledge. Brutal, bloody and bleak: my score is 8 out of 10.
