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.
