*1/2 out of **** "The Strangers" is maddeningly un-scary and also unforgivably stupid. It certainly proves that its director, first-timer Bryan Bertino, can direct a movie; but can't tell a gripping story. There are many directors like this; and I applaud him for at least trying to work with his "original" material. This could have made for a pretty tense movie, and the young movie-maker himself had a decent idea going for him. But then again, that is strictly speaking in … more

THE STRANGERS Now the idea behind this film is really scary especially since it can really happen. In fact it is based on true events or at least something the director experienced or remembered from his childhood. You can say it is a rip off of the film "Them" [really good] all you want but I tend to believe what the director has to say and how he wrote this. This film was based on three different things it seems that lead to the director … more

I had a good time with this one and would recommend it. I know that there are those who don't like it as much but I thought it was good. I say check it out because you may like it as well. Does it have problems, maybe, but that didn't hurt the film in my eyes. Rent it and check it out late one night, you may not want to answer the door after that. Based on three different things including a very chilling true crime, check out the review to find out more about that.

If you're looking to be scared, The Strangers will to do the trick and then some. I was a little worried, to be honest.

Fortunately, The Strangers rises above this and sets out to create something far more subtle, but no less gripping. The Strangers is a no-frills suspense film. The premise is … more

After watching the French-horror thriller "THEM" a few months ago, I didn't really have high hopes for this supposed "based" on true events film: "THE STRANGERS". If this isn't a remake, it certainly has strong similarities. (Maybe this was also based on the incident in Romania?) "Them" came out around 2006, if this was written before, what took it so long to be made? The quality of the film doesn't reflect anything special to cause a delay in … more

I saw The Strangers last year. It was definitely a film that you will remember, from the strange knocking on the door to the pacing and filming of the movie. It was definitely going for the obvious, simple ways to frighten you by having people wearing masks out to get you, knocking on doors, running after you, playing games, etc. I'm always intrigued by more detail than what I just described, maybe some sort of plot twist that doesn't bring out the obvious at first glance. But this film … more
