The Stranger in My Home

The Stranger in My Home is a solid, twisty domestic thriller that had me hooked from the start. Sophia Bush absolutely carries this film-she's raw, emotional, and totally believable as a mom whose life unravels when a mysterious man shows up claiming her daughter was switched at birth. And let's talk about Chris Carmack for a second-menacing, mysterious, and ridiculously sexy. Like, sir, please ruin my family if you're going to look like that. The film leans a little dramatic in parts, but honestly, that's part of the fun. It's suspenseful, stylish, and just messy enough to keep you on the edge of your seat. Perfect for a cozy night in with wine and friends who love a good plot twist.

I don't know what you think this movie is but it is not what you are thinking. Definitely not what the trailer makes you think it is.

The movie has a "TV" vibe all over it. The production quality, the editing (switching between scenes), everything smells low budget.

The trailer looked intriguing. So I decided to give it a try. The acting is Okay and convincing enough but characters' actions are not believable. That is not how humans would act when being in these situations. Fortunately, the movie is not that long, which is why when I realized it wasn't worth the watch, it was already half-way through. The movie ended just like you thought it would end.

I've never written a movie review before, but I came across There's a Stranger in My Home after seeing a trailer on TikTok that made it look intense and intriguing. It hooked me just enough to spend $6 to rent it, but unfortunately, that's where the excitement ended.

The acting was pretty bad, the story was super predictable, and the whole thing just felt cringey. It had the vibe of a cheesy made-for-TV movie, but not in a fun or entertaining way. I kept waiting for it to get better, but it never really did.

If you're thinking about watching it, I'd say skip it-unless you're in the mood to laugh at something unintentionally funny.

It's the first time I dedicate time to review a movie....

What just happend to the last 2h of my life?! I. Will never get them back!

The director is a genius! He was able to use techniques for coffee comercial, videoclips with light on the dancer. Have no line of thought in editing from squares every minute to no squares at all. Every scene is cut with no momentum at all with the characters they are writen by 10 year old.

How do people invest money and the actors acept to even be part of this. Its career suicide.

Please some one save the actors they were kidnapped to make this movie.

This is watching now the end of the movie...

Katie Katie sweetheart have some water.

Family movie night?

Then the director decides to use Frankenstein as a revival moment...

It just getting better as I'm writing this review... thank you!

No spoiler but it even has a moment of Call of Duty!

And a beautiful ending with scrable.

Thank you I take my words I'm inspired!

Like a hit and run!

Tense, twisty, and surprisingly emotional, The Stranger in My Home delivers a psychological thriller that hooks you from the start and refuses to let go. The plot unfolds with sharp precision, keeping you guessing through every reveal and reversal.

But it's the performances that elevate the film. Sophia Bush brings quiet intensity to the role, while Chris Carmack balances charm and menace in a way that's downright chilling. Their chemistry makes every scene feel like a ticking time bomb.

It's a smart, gripping ride-one that proves you don't need loud action to leave a lasting impact. Well done!
