The Stranger tells the story of a rideshare driver named Claire as she picks up a man late at night during her shift. She’s new to the area and eager to make some money. What she doesn’t realize is that her passenger, Carl, has been targeting her and will now take her on one of the most terrifying 12-hour fights for survival ever.
If you feel you’ve somehow watched this movie despite it coming out this year, you might just be right. Interestingly, The Strangers was originally a series of 13 short episodes on Quibi in 2020 before the streaming service was absorbed by Roku.
Quibi had one nice feature going for it, which is that after two years, the original creators of media on the platform were allowed to retain ownership of their work, which allowed The Stranger to be recut into a movie.
