The Stranger (2022)
Classic movie of the genre.
That genre being - tiny budget, single location, handful of actors - horror.
Think Hellraiser and A Dark Song and X, on a shoestring.
It's a first time full feature - though Mike and Paul have been around awhile.
And if you take that into account the flaws can be excused.
The acting, it's not quite there, but it's generally prett good. A little more experience, whether from them, or the directors, or the script, and you can see it could have been great.
Effects, not much obvious, the few clear examples are more about turning the concepts into costume/makeup - and that was well done.
Originally titled Karli, the name change was a good idea, until another film came out with the same name last year!
Nicely leaves things open for a prequel and sequel(s).
The Hunters are coming...
Full disclosure, I've known one of the directors for a number of years.
