The Stranger
This is not a sneak preview. This is a web TV crime thriller that released in April 2020.
It’s a ride share driver’s worst nightmare when she encounters a psychopathic passenger. Following a “24” timetable, a Kansas girl Claire (Maika Monroe) & her little Toto dog get wept away on a whirlwind trip across L.A. being tormented by an all too clever stalker with tech skills. It’s a crazy cat & mouse game with me the mysterious madman (Dane DeHaan) seemingly always one step ahead of everyone. Claire does get a little badly needed assistance. However, not from a scarecrow, a tin man, & a cowardly lion, but from an Indian 7/11 convenience store clerk. Every hour as the clock ticks away, things continue to go from bad to worse keeping audiences on the edge of their seats trying to figure how this is going to play out.
Alien gives it 3 “algorithm” stars out of 4.
