Stranger by Night is a 1994 action film directed by Gregory Dark and starring Steven Bauer, Jennifer Rubin and William Katt.

As the murderous villain stalks the city streets leaving carnage in his wake, Corcoran begins to experience blackouts and sudden fits of anger.

[5][6] Sandra Brennan of AllMovie gave the film one and a half stars out of five, and said: "In this crime thriller, a pair of police detectives investigates a series of related killings.

[9] Entertainment Weekly awarded the film a B− grade and wrote: "Despite obvious plotting and the most annoying soundtrack this side of Flashdance, Stranger by Night is still worth watching for a bravura performance by veteran video star William Katt in a role that would work perfectly in a big-screen Quentin Tarantino version of Starsky and Hutch.

Unfortunately, Katt's wonderfully obnoxious cop is only peripheral to this tale of a tough-guy detective Steven Bauer whose alcoholic blackouts are followed by discoveries of dead hookers and a parade of red herrings.
