Review of The Strangers (2011) by Nick G — 06 Nov 2011

Why all the hate? The script was good and it was directed very well... very reminiscent of older horror movies like Halloween in terms of generating suspense. Loved the masks too.

Very disappointing and that it spends the first 20 minutes in anchor steam marital drama, and then relies too heavily on ambient offscreen…

I liked this film. I liked the seventies feel and I thought it was an old fashioned horror movie that didn't try to be too clever…
