‘The Stranger In My Home’ Exclusive Clip: Why Are You Doing This To Me??
Home invasion horror is some of the scariest around because more often than not, the violence is seemingly random. Think The Strangers and other films of that ilk. Now, in the new film The Stranger In My Home, director Jeff Fisher and writer Chris Sivertson craft their own home invasion tale. But here, our stranger has plenty of secrets.
Read the full synopsis:
Ali and her daughter Katie have a perfect life—until a stranger claims to be Katie’s father. As secrets unravel, his obsession turns dangerous, pulling them into a web of lies and fear. Based on the bestselling novel by Adele Parks.
In our exclusive clip from the film, Katie wakes disoriented and trapped in an unfamiliar place. Desperate to escape her unknown captor, she frantically searches for a way out.
Watch now:
Fisher said about this scene,
“In general, our goal was to try and ape the tension of a Hitchcock thriller and aim for the heart of modern fear—the idea that you could wake up in a strange place and realize someone’s been planning this moment for a long time. That scene where Katie cries out, ‘Why are you doing this to me?’, after waking up in this strange cabin was designed to feel disorienting—even primal. This scene where she’s dragged down the hall—yikes! Honestly, I was trying to rip off the opening of Jaws — isolating her, circling her emotionally, and never fully showing the threat. If you’re going to steal, mine as well steal from the best!
In this scene in particular, we were also playing into those Wrong Turn, Cabin in the Woods, and even Prisoners vibes. Out in the middle of nowhere with someone who is off their rocker keeping you captive. Again, YIKES!”
Sophia Bush, Chris Carmack, Amiah Miller, and Chris Johnson star in the new home invasion thriller.
The Stranger In My Home comes to digital on June 24, 2025.
