Review of The Strangers (2011) by Matthew C — 04 Nov 2012

I am surprised by the plethora of poor reviews from the critics. Maybe this is once again an example of the critic's prejudice against the horror genre, but I found the slow building dread of this film more akin to the gradually progressive suspense established in classics like "Halloween".

In a time when people seem to be content with quick paced gruesome violence, " The strangers" takes the time to establish a gradual building of suspense and dread.
