When she wakes up, she's on a boat at sea, alone with the mysterious figure, trying to figure out if she's going to live through the day. Stylish and haunting, PERFECT STRANGERS deftly blends many different genres to tell a truly original tale.

Pretty desperate stuff
I thought this movie had potential after seeing the trailer which had me expecting some real suspense and thrills but it turns out to be a real damp squib. After 30 minutes I thought it was just one of these slow ones which takes its time to get going but after an hour I realised the story writers had obviously headed to the pub by that time as they had no idea about where they wanted this movie to go.
Avoid unless you are an insomniac desperate for something to send you to sleep! -
