Title: Don't waste your time
Product review: As someone who used to see 60 or 80 movies a year and now sees about 10 because they're so mediocre these days... "When Strangers Appear" really goes on my "Why did I even bother?" list. The story makes NO sense. The New Zealand-based filmmakers didn't bother to correct minor details -- the story is set in Oregon, yet they call a doctor's office a "surgery" and a parking lot a "car park." The heroine made me absolutely crazy with her wandering from place to place rather than going to get some help! She runs a diner and a motel (apparently several miles apart) out in the middle of nowhere, and says she's had no customers in a while, yet she can afford to keep both of them open? Worst of all, the writer/director never explains who the bad guys are, why they're so uptight about that CD, or why they're willing to murder to get it back. I could go on and on ... suffice to say I really thought this was a serious waste of time.
