The Dark Stranger
Available on Philo, Prime Video, Tubi TV, Plex
THE DARK STRANGER is a psychological thriller about Leah, a talented young artist, who is recovering from a recent traumatic event and afraid to leave her own home. Soon after her father is visited by a suspicious art curator looking into her family’s past, she begins drawing a graphic novel in which an ominous Dark Stranger pursues a lonely girl doll, across a foreboding fairy tale landscape. As the work on the novel progresses, Leah begins to see The Dark Stranger in real life. At first, she isn’t sure if she is completely losing her mind, or if the Stranger is a deadly supernatural force trying to destroy her. Piece by piece, The Dark Stranger tears apart her life, killing anyone who comes between her and the make believe world she has created. THE DARK STRANGER is a bold and innovative take on the genre as it features extensive animated sequences of Leah’s graphic novel.
