The Stranger (XII) (2014)
5/10
The Best Part Is When The Movie Is Over

Warning: Spoilers
A modern, vampire tale: a man (played by Cristobal Tapia Montt) enters a small town looking for a woman. Instead, he finds trouble: a young thug who does what he wants because of who his father is; and the thug's father, a high-ranking police officer who will do anything to protect his son. Father and son commit a heinous crime that they try to cover up, but "The Stranger" has terrible secrets of his own that will threaten to spill the blood of many who live in the town.

My most memorable, movie moment of "The Stranger" was the start of the closing credits. I was so happy that it ended and my suffering was over. Why did I not stop the movie earlier? Because I was watching it with three other people…otherwise this movie would have been stopped at the 20 minute mark.

A badly written script (almost every line has the word "f*@k" or some variant of it, telling me that the writer/director doesn't have the skill to create tense, gripping dialogue without the crutch of curse words; characters who do things that make no sense; pacing that is off), and acting that belongs in high school plays completely wreck a good story. If you're looking for a movie to watch while folding your laundry and playing with your phone and checking out the sale items on the local CVS flier, then this movie is for you!
