IFC Midnight releases new trailer for upcoming vampire movie The Stranger
Trailer“Humanity’s death sentence” is about to be unleashed. IFC Midnight announced that their new vampire film The Stranger will hit theaters in June. The new official trailer shows it’s a pretty mysterious and roundabout way to kill a vampire. The Stranger premiered at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas, last fall.
Directed by Guillermo Amoedo, The Stranger stars Luis Gnecco, Lorenza Izzo, Ariel Levy, and Aaron Burns.
According to the official synopsis “The Stranger is ultimately about family, the legacy we pass on to our children and the lengths we go to protect and ensure their survival, no matter how dark and deadly they might become.”
“Amoedo shows a deft ability to turn a bloodthirsty monster movie on its head, into a slow-burn, character-driven film. ‘The Stranger’ takes its time, building the tension through occasional flashbacks and having the audience sympathize with Peter, who grew up not knowing his father. Peter, like the audience, is kept largely in the dark about his father’s motives or even what he is… because he’s certainly not human. What is apparent is the chaos his dad’s return has on the small town, especially a member of the police force and his violence-prone son,” the synopsis says.
The indie horror flick was produced by Eli Roth (Hostel, Cabin fever, The Green Inferno) and Nicolás López (Aftershock).
It will be shown in select theaters and on demand in the U.S. on June 12.
