Thursday Movie Picks: A Stranger


Welcome to another Thursday Movie Picks, the weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves. This week we have to pick movies with strangers and I guess it's because it has been Halloween themed for the past month, but at first I could only think of horror/thriller movies. I was able to do something different with my third pick though.

Hush (2016)
A deaf writer who lives alone in a house in the woods must fight for her life when a masked stranger appears at her window with only one thing in mind, killing her. This is one of the best horrors/thrillers of recent years. It's tense, clever and benefits from a great performance by its lead, Kate Siegel.

The Hitcher (2007)
Two students are driving through the New Mexico desert during a rainy night when they decide to give a ride to a hitcher. Worst idea ever as the stranger turns out to be a serial killer. I saw this years ago when I had a soft spot for terrible horrors and I remember enjoying it. I don't think I'd feel the same day.

Forces of Nature (1999)
After his plane almost crashed because of a hurricane, a soon-to-be-married man meets an attractive and eccentric woman and his wedding is put at stake. I also saw this one years ago, and I don't remember much about it. But I was really rooting for those two to end up together.
