The Stranger is a 2014 Chilean horror-thriller film directed by Guillermo Amoedo and starring Cristóbal Tapia Montt, Ariel Levy, Lorenza Izzo and Nicolás Durán.

Montt plays a drifter who enters a small town, seeking information about his estranged wife.

As Martin mourns her death and remembers their past, he is confronted by three thugs led by Caleb, who threaten to kill him.

Caleb claims self-defense, but De Luca calls him a liar and orders him to cover up the crime.

Peter convinces his reluctant mother, Monica, to help Martin, but he refuses first aid, claiming his blood is contagious.

After knocking De Luca unconscious, Martin rescues Peter and takes him back to Monica's house.

Although Caleb is healed by Martin's blood, he becomes infected and kills Monica before leaving the hospital with his father.

Peter arrives, his face bloody and dirty from feeding, and drags Caleb into the sunlight, protected by heavy clothing.

[6] Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter called it a "lifeless, fang-less vampire movie" that avoids traditional cliches but descends into uninteresting melodrama.

[9] Robert Abele of the Los Angeles Times wrote that it "comes across like an amateur play at gravitas, one unsupported by dully weighted scenes and clunky dialogue".

[10] Patrick Cooper of Bloody Disgusting rated it 1/5 stars and called it an "utterly forgettable" film that fails to grab audiences.

[11] Drew Tinnin of Dread Central rated it 2.5/5 stars and wrote that the film "is filled with so much desperation that it can't help but be depressing even with some uplifting themes about sacrifice and family bonds".
