....like watching TETRIS in slow motion...
7 September 2001
WHEN STRANGERS APPEAR is a by-the-numbers wannabe thriller with aspirations to BLOOD SIMPLE but without a single frame of originality. The audience I watched this with hooted loudly at the on-screen shenanigans and past the midway mark were loudly screaming `spot the cliche!' at the screen. The script is turgid and thrilless, the acting ranges from ham to turkey and the director treats the audience like idiots by trying to get away with some of the stupidest lapses in logic ever witnessed. I honestly can't think of a single positive thing to say about this film which seems to be a home-movie. I can recommend watching it with a group of friends, some beers and a large sack of rotten tomatoes to hurl at the screen.
