The Strangers

Oops..I just shot Marvin in the face

Superb pacing, people mad about the plot are simply asking more than the film set out to give, but what it sets out to do it does very well. One of the greatest modern slasher films and post 9/11 cultural looking glasses.

This was a great movie overall but seriously, Kristen is one of the dumbest characters ever written. I mean, put your damn shoes on. 😂😂😂

Watched this after Stephen King recommended it in the 2010 forward to Danse Macabre. I thought it was pretty good. Very surprised at some of the comments here how much they hated it.

That sequence where Glenn Howerton walks slowly through the house while the Mama Tried vinyl plays, and the killer follows behind him, makes this movie worth a watch just for that. A couple of unnecessary slow sequences, but goddamn, there's some nuggets of sheer brilliance locked in this movie. A little more work on the writing would've helped, but overall, the direction and choice of music was superb. I'll be revisiting this movie just for some of the great scenes scattered throughout.

Solid home-invasion movie. The antagonists are creepy, memorable and unrelenting. You have to suspend disbelief at a few moments, but otherwise it works pretty well. It's a slow burn though, so you have to be ready for that. It's the motivation of the characters though that's most effective. There's something unsettling about it all just being a random act of violence.

overall a decent horror for its time, though there are definitely more frightening entries into the home invasion genre. mostly worth it for liv tyler's performance, and the character mike's scene, the latter of which you know what's coming but the tension is top tier regardless.

Undeniably a creepy and unsettling film. What sets it apart, and what I appreciate in a good horror movie, is its ability to tap into elements of realism. The sense of vulnerability and the feeling that something like this could happen in real life makes it all the more terrifying. It's a haunting experience that lingers long after the movie ends, and that's what makes it a standout in the horror genre.

Idk, it's good, but the villains are kinda pussies. Id love to see them try this shit in the hood.
