The Strangers

#The Strangers# Best Cheap Discount Sales Reviews

An overlook and underrated little gem of a horror movie. Really scary and really violent and really good. Nice to see a horror movie that doesn’t have any humor and isn’t remotely fun; just brutal and nasty. Also features a surprisingly great performance from Liv Tyler. Not for everyone but I love it.

Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman star in this relentless suspense thriller that will keep you up at night and make you never want to answer the door again!

if you ever had a home invasion of you own. It is way TOO scary.

“Inspired by True Events”…like Cain and Abel. – The JuRK – Our Vast, Cultural Desert
I’ve become very suspicious of films that bear the subtitle, “Inspired by True Events.” “Inspired” just means that something caused someone to come up with something. It doesn’t mean they have to use any elements of what inspired them…they were just inspired by some incident.

So the murder behind Cain and Abel in Genesis could’ve “inspired” THE STRANGERS: somebody did something bad to somebody else.

And not that you ever find out why or who the bad guys really are or why we’re submitting ourselves to this ordeal. Call me fussy, but I like to know what’s going on in my movies. I like to know why people do what they do.

This isn’t a terrible movie. It’s well-crafted…but I knew as much at the end as I did when I started it. It’s all style, no substance. I was thankful it wasn’t a by-the-numbers slasher flick (because I do despise those tedious exercises more) but was it too much to ask for some insight or info or anything about what was going on here?

Hollywood Horror – Spurious George – OH
The movie is long on atmospherics–borrowed from better, less compromised non-Hollywood movies like Wolf Creek and High Tension–and short on credible behavior. Admittedly, the first third provides a promising, suspenseful set-up. However, it all goes to waste thanks to undermotivated characters and contrived action. This is one of those movies where the victims’ implausibly stupid behavior is the only thing that keeps them from escaping before the third act. Even worse, the killers lazily toy with the victims instead of offing them when the opportunity arises. And there is a preposterous denouement that makes the film even less satisfying. Finally, nothing else about the film is interesting enough to compensate for the storytelling flaws.
