The horror sub-genres of tentacle horror and home invasion thrills collide in the film The Stranger, which is now available on all VOD platforms in the United States. This movie marks the feature directorial debut of Mike Clarke, who previously directed multiple short films, and Paul Gerrard, who has worked as a concept artist on a couple dozen projects, including the upcoming Evil Dead film Evil Dead Rise. To get a preview of what Clarke and Gerrard have brought to the screen together, check out the trailer for The Stranger in the embed above.
Clarke and Gerrard also wrote The Stranger together, crafting the following story:
After the murder of her husband, Amanda relocates with her daughter, Karli, and purchases a hotel in the countryside. Their fresh start is interrupted by the arrival of a mysterious man who pleads for shelter, fleeing an unknown threat.

It truly is the age-old question I believe all women ask themselves. How do you move on in life after the brutal murder of your husband? The answer is always the same. You go ahead and buy then move into a creepy-as-shit secluded bed and breakfast and welcome the first creepy weirdo that drops by into your life. That’s a thing people do right?
As you may all know by now I am a huge lover and supporter of the lower-budget independent films out there. It tends to yield positive results by way of some unsung gems and truly inspired performances.
Enter, The Stranger. A movie I had heard the odd thing about on the festival circuit. we are seeing a bit of a boom in the horror scene in the UK...

With a title shortened from Witches of Amityville Academy (probably so as not to give anyone the wrong impression that this is a teen movie a la Sabrina), Witches of Amityville tells the story of Jessica who, when receives an invitation to attend an exclusive academy, jumps at the chance to go to a prestigious school. However, on her first night, when she sees another newcomer murdered in front of her, she realises something is very wrong. She discovers the academy is actually a cover for a coven of witches and she has hidden powers that might just help save her life and escape their evil clutches…

Not one but Three kick-ass powerful leading ladies. Break-neck fight choreography straight out of The Raid. A spellbinding and ear tickling 80s retro synth score. A chilling Lector-esque performance that gave this reviewer the Heebie Jeebies. Action, Elder Gods with a Lovecraftian mythology twist. Tom Paton brings all of this in his game changing must see genre defying, sleek, stylised, adventurous ode to John Carpenter for a modern audience.
Finally Black Site has had its sold out premiere at Frightfest down in London (sadly 365 could not make it). However this means that finally I can bring you my review. Now I will say right up front that if you listen to our podcast you...

One of this year’s Frightfest World Premieres, Black Site had people excited with only its description promising John Carpenter-esque action… Which is all I needed to hear to give it a watch. In truth, despite despite this playing at Frighfest, it’s not really a horror movie. The sci-fi elements more than make it worthy of being shown at one of the World’s leading genre festivals though.
The sci-fi here feels very Lovecraftian, involving elder gods that are living on Earth being captured and held at the Artemis Black Site until they are not needed any more and are sent back from where they originally came. It all feels very much...
