    A Twisty, Psychological Rollercoaster

    The film's slow-burning tension builds to a stunning climax, with twists and turns that will leave you breathless. The themes of deception, obsession, and the blurred lines between truth and lies are expertly woven throughout the narrative.

    The cinematography is stunning, capturing the eerie atmosphere and sense of unease that permeates the story. The score perfectly complements the mood, adding to the overall sense of tension and suspense. Overall, INTIMATE STRANGER is a gripping, thought-provoking thriller that will appeal to fans of psychological suspense. I have seen many this type of genre, but this is one of my favorite of the horror genres.
