I laughed my ass off when they called him just to fix it for their 6 pack of beer. That was a dumb reason for that character to be there. Me and my buddy started doing some Mystery Science Theater because we were alone in the theater. Also I don't know about you,but if I heard people singing lullabies outside my window and hear people moving around outside the house, the last thing I'm going to do is turn on loud music,smoke a joint,and take a shower. Dumb characters.

This was such an insult to the original.

6:35 people like that are weird. They'll treat Strangers: Chapter One like it's the scariest thing ever, then you show them something like Terrifier or Hereditary and they'd think it's boring.

Brutal?? Laughs in Damien Leone. Solid, honest review. I'm tired of hearing, "Wait til the second and third movies!" It's a justification for mediocrity and capitalism. I wasn't a huge fan of the first The Strangers, but Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman woke up and went to work that day. These two actors and Mr. Harlin just hit snooze.

Kali and Jason, appreciate your comments on the overwrought cliches of rural people in horror films, i.e. loogie spittin’, meat eatin’, hostile country folk that all marry as teenagers, most likely to a cousin. A film that actually does that well is Deliverance, where you can feel the underlying tension between the weekend warriors and the townsfolk that culminates into the terror of THAT scene. Yes, it has the tropes we’re talking about, but I think it doesn’t feel heavy-handed or unintentionally comedic like it does with this reboot. The filmmakers could have done some interesting commentary on rural gentrification , but they just made the original practically beat for beat.

My all time favorite video from yall. Absolutely loved the energy in this one. Kalie (sp?)shined big time. Keep this energy Kalie! So many great points. Luv yall.

Probably going to see this one on a half priced Tuesday, I already knew that would be the case but this review solidified that decision 😅. I dont think this movie was needed, the two standalone’s were just fine, but nobody can leave things alone. This certainly isn’t a series that calls for a trilogy. Or more than the two that we got originally.

so, like that 1st film. i’ll check it out on dvd.

You’re both spot on in every point here. I hated this movie.

I mean when you think about it the couple were attractive theres the reverse halo effect thing so maybe they were used to people acting antagonistic or weird towards them all the time so that would explain them being so guillabe to the situation cause because of their looks theyve always attracted weird energy from other people but nothing came out of it until this point lol

I done fell asleep in the theater at some point lol. If anything, this movie made me wanna rewatch the original film tbh

The dumbest thing they ever did is going to an area to get something to eat. I would rather go to a major city where there plenty of people around. Every time a character goes to a small creepy town, things tends to happen. How are you doing today?

Absolutely

I definitely think the director wanted to take this on a fresh approach, however, poorly executed in the first entry to the trilogy. I do think the directors main focus was movies 2 & 3, the first movie felt like it was just put together off of footage they had from filming as they need to redo the first one in order to make the second and third any different. It wasn't a horrible movie, could it have been better following the original and Prey at Night? Absolutely- But I am still hopefully the second installment will be a lot better, and the third, maybe even better. This feels like a test. The Strangers franchise has been great at releasing thoughtful movies, this first one, however, didn't seem too thoughtful.

We shall see

Glad I’m not crazy. A few reviews have come out in praise of this film and I can’t for the life of me understand why. It’s unbelievable that they tried to merge the tension of the first and expand the scope like the second yet somehow only offer the worst from both. It should be a sin to make such an easy home run into something so boring. If a film isn’t scary, I’ll give it a pass in exchange for great kills and vice versa, but this offers neither. And it doesn’t help that almost nothing matters. The only thing that changes if he doesn’t have asthma is she isn’t left alone in the house to get us a couple lame jump scares before the movie really starts. Rolled ankle? Amounts to nothing. Random nail in the sand? only an issue for the 20 seconds under the floor. Murdering the owner? Means nothing, changes none of the characters actions or ugh. Nothing changes if any of this isn’t written into the film. It also bothers me that the entire film progresses solely on poor decisions that don’t make any sense, which I can give some room for horror films but not when it’s every single cliche’ that’s ever existed from city folks in the small town, tripping in the woods, disappearing in the reflection/when the door opens etc. Anyway, I hated it too 😂

I cannot stand this immediate trilogy situation with horror movies anymore. It's so unnecessary. Even if a director has a 3 movie plan, whatever happened to the element of surprise? I was so annoyed when they announced Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends together (and who was signed to both films), because it immediately told me who I didn't need to worry about dying and took every ounce of tension out of the experience. For them to continue it with The Exorcist and now The Strangers... Hollywood is not listening to what audiences actually want and I'm over it.
