Review of The Strangers (2008) by Boy_Number_8 — 19 Mar 2014
This film plays with one of the biggest real life scares of being alone in your house terrorized by strangers, especially with the whole "this film is being taken from real life events" line included at the beginning.
What I felt the strangers does well making us care about the main characters. This isnt a simple horror movie with multiple characters and huge body counts of people we don't care about.
There's some bone chilling moments early on but the films looses most of its magic once "the strangers" start their full scale attack.
The two lead characters must be some of the most dumb people i've ever watched in a horror movie. I was taken aback many times by some of their idiotic behavior, so much so that I wasn't sure if I was watching a parody. Every sane thing you would do, they decide to do the opposite.
The ending may not be to everyone's taste, but I personally liked it and id be lying if I said I didn't want to watch the squeal.
