Review of The Strangers (2008) by Dalem. — 01 Nov 2008
The storyline is contrived. Events don't happen out of any inner logic in the story or characters, but just because the director wants them to happen. Many of the scenes are telegraphed so there is very little real fright.
The main characters talk with a sliding inflection as if they were bored most of the time. Even the murderers who supposedly are doing it for the fun of it don't seem to be having any fun. At the end of the movie there is a scene with two boys walking their bikes down a hill.
What kind of boys walk bikes down a hill? That's the kind of contriving that's just stupid.
