Just released onto VOD outlets a few weeks back was Guillermo Amoedo’s stripped down vampire film The Stranger (review), which was produced by Eli Roth. We’ve just gotten word that the film is soon coming to Blu-ray, and we invite you to check out the art today.
The scoop comes courtesy of Scream Factory’s Facebook page, where it was revealed that the film will hit Blu-ray on October 6th via Scream Factory and IFC Midnight. Extras haven’t yet been announced, but should be coming along shortly.
The Stranger stars Luis Gnecco, Lorenza Izzo, Ariel Levy, and Aaron Burns.
Synopsis:
Amoedo shows a deft ability to turn a bloodthirsty monster movie on its head. Slow-burn, character-driven THE STRANGER takes its time, building the tension through occasional flashbacks and having the audience sympathize with Peter, who grew up not knowing his father.
Peter, like the audience, is kept largely in the dark about his father’s motives or even what he is… because he’s certainly not human. What is apparent is the chaos his dad’s return has on the small town, especially a member of the police force and his violence-prone son. THE STRANGER is ultimately about family, the legacy we pass on to our children, and the lengths to which we go to protect and ensure their survival, no matter how dark and deadly they might become.
