A teacher wakes up from a terrifying dream predicting a shooting at the school where he works and, when he fails to prevent it thanks to an incompetent administration, he's haunted by the undead who want to get back at him for not trying harder to prevent it.
A Stranger Among the Living is an above average indie horror film that boasts a few strong performances and memorable scare sequences. There are a few slight lags in the pacing midway through and the ending might be more confounding than satisfying to some, but there's a creepy mood here that's undeniable and I found it really easy to get into the story. It also suffers a bit from being loaded with a few too many jump scares. While most are well timed and effective, a few come across as silly and the story is interesting enough to where it didn't need them and it feels as if the filmmakers might be trying to cater their slow burn, character driven horror film to the more ADD Blumhouse/Conjuring/Insidious generation.

I wish there were more movies like this.
The storyline is somewhat like final destination, only more horro-like. So the storyline isn't unique. The acting isn't that good, but good enough to be believable. It appears that there is absolutely no budget beyond a tank of gas for the main character's car. Somebody called this a slow-moving ghost story and that's a good way of putting it. So when something happens, maybe that's why it's even more intense. This, coupled with all the creepiness, makes the movie kind of scary. I can see that if somebody perused these same techniques, there could be more like it. So if everything is mediocre or less, why a decent rating? Because it's a little creepy at times, and was entertaining enough for me to keep watching until the end. As slow as it was, it never got boring.
Slow n boring movie which has jump scares that r repetitive n mostly consists of people appearing in front of each other suddenly n that too with an annoying loud nosie.
A man is stalked n haunted by the dead after he escapes a shooting. The film moves at a very slow pace, it has some creepy moments, the lack of budget is noticeable, it has jump-scares which gets repetitive, people appearing in front of each other and that too with a loud music. Somewhere somebody comapred it to Invasion of Body Snatchers n praised it tremendously. I got enticed after reading this fake review.
