So what’s it all about?
Well, in short, Hello Stranger follows Cam, a techno-hermit who conducts life from his electronically automated smart home.
“Cam interacts with strangers on the platform Hello Stranger: a randomised video chatting website,” reads the official synopsis.
“Eventually, he encounters a masked stranger with an altered voice. Unnerved, Cam leaves the call only to find the stranger has hacked his smart-home and locked him in.
“The stranger tells Cam that he must win three rounds of games or it is ‘game over’.
“Viewers must make decisions and play the 3 games in order for Cam to survive but one wrong choice could lead to a grisly end.”
That certainly sounds thrilling!
And with a 2024 release date in mind, it looks like we won’t have long to wait to see the film either.
