2013 thriller film The Stranger Within is not to be confused with all the other movies with the same name that were released before it. It might have been better if Sony had kept the original name of The Stranger Inside.
Whatever you call it, the R-rated film stars William Baldwin (Backdraft) and Estella Warren (See You in September) as a couple relaxing in a vacation home on a remote Mediterranean island after a traumatic ordeal. Their first night in the house, they’re interrupted by a girl (Sarah Butler, I Spit On Your Grave) who has blood on her hands. The couple quickly discover she also likes playing mind games.

I had never heard of The Stranger Inside until I watched the trailer. Adam Neutzsky-Wulff directed this psychological thriller, which stars William Baldwin, Estella Warren, and Sarah Butler. I liked Baldwin in Backdraft, Flatliners, and Sliver. This looks like it could be a good watch on DVD or Blu-ray.
Synopsis:
Actress Emily Moore (Warren) is kidnapped and tortured by a masked man. Deemed a psychotic fan by the world's press, only Emily knows the real reason why he did so. On the run from the terror that has caught up to her, Emily leaves New York for a Mediterranean island with her husband Robert (Baldwin), a psychiatrist. But the idyllic seclusion of this paradise now serves as a trap when a young and attractive girl (Butler) turns up with blood on her hands and a penchant for mind games.
