Stranger in the House is a thrilling movie that centers around a couple, Jade (Emmanuelle Vaugier) and her husband, Jake (Matthew MacCaull) who decides to turn their home into a bed and breakfast. Jade, who is a successful interior designer, uses her skill to renovate the property to an excellent standard, making it an attractive and cozy place for guests. However, their big plans to run a successful business seem to be threatened when they meet an unexpected guest.

The movie takes off, with the couple welcoming a new guest, Brigitte (Jordana Largy), who appears to be quite an enigmatic character. From the moment this mysterious guest checks into the bed and breakfast, strange things start to happen. Jade and Jake's perfect life starts to unravel, as their guest's motives become increasingly suspicious. The couple is left wondering what Brigitte wants from them as she starts manipulating everybody around her.

As the story progresses, it becomes clear that their guest is not only interested in staying but also has another motive for being in town. As each day passes, she becomes more and more dangerous, with her intentions to hurt those around her becoming clearer. The couple quickly realizes that Brigitte will stop at nothing to get what she wants.

The plot takes several unexpected twists and turns as the tension builds, leading up to the thrilling climax. The suspenseful nature of the movie is evident from the beginning, with each scene leaving the audience on the edge of their seats as they try to guess what Brigitte will do next.

One of the most impressive things about this movie is the outstanding performance of the main cast. Emmanuelle Vaugier plays Jade, a determined businesswoman who becomes increasingly anxious as her ideal bed and breakfast turns into her worst nightmare. Vaugier's character is strongly developed – she's smart, feisty, and determined to protect her family at all costs. Her performance is convincing, and the audience cannot help but root for her throughout the movie.

Matthew MacCaull plays Jake, Jade's husband, who is equally determined to keep their business afloat. Although he might not be as involved in the renovation work as his wife, he is still an integral part of the hotel's success. His performance is excellent, and his character is portrayed realistically – he is not too macho, nor too weak. He is just the right balance for the role he was cast in.

Jordana Largy's character, Brigitte, is genuinely intriguing. She's calm, cool, and collected, making it difficult for the viewer to know what she's thinking about. Her performance oozes malice, and she is an excellent fit for the role. The audience cannot help but feel a sense of unease as the story unfolds, and Largy maintains the suspenseful atmosphere throughout.

In conclusion, Stranger in the House is a well-executed thriller that keeps the audience captivated until the end. The movie's quick pace, the well-built characters, and the unexpected twists and turns make it a must-watch for anyone who enjoys crime dramas. The actors' performances are genuinely outstanding, and they bring the nail-biting story to life. If you're a fan of suspense-filled movies, this is one you won't want to miss.
