The Stranger

2024

Maika Monroe, Dane DeHaan, Avan Jogia, Roxana Brusso ...

Thriller. Mystery. Drama New to Los Angeles, rideshare driver Clare picks up Carl from a home deep in the Hollywood Hills. What begins as a routine ride turns into Clare’s worst nightmare: a twelve-hour fight for survival through the city’s seedy underbelly. Carl is not the passenger Clare thought he was, and Clare is not easy prey.

	Media	Author	Review
		Natalia Winkelman The New York Times	"A tense if tidy thriller that chronicles a ride-hail driver’s journey to surveillance hell and back"
		Michael Nordine Variety	"That premise has no shortage of potential, and while the film doesn’t squander it, it doesn’t maximize it either"
		Laura Bradley The Daily Beast	"It is best approached as a light-hearted horror romp designed, above all, to entertain (...) That said, it’ll definitely make Uber drivers think twice before letting Dane DeHaan -or anyone with weird vibes- into their cars"
		Christian Gallichio The Playlist	"Is 'The Stranger' good? Not exactly. But it’s also not bad either. It’s short, punchy, and has enough narrative momentum to make for an entertaining Friday night diversion"
		Matt Fowler IGN	"A powerful performance by Maika Monroe helps Veena Sud's 'The Stranger' rise above the rabble as a tense stalker thriller"
