The Strangers (Released 29/08/08 - UK)

I enjoyed it. Decent film, esp. by a 1st time movie director.

It's more pyschological horror/terror than pure blood and guts but it was good for what it was.

Thought Liv Tyler did a good job, effective and believable but props must go to the 3 actors who played the 'strangers'. The masks were well creepy and i especially liked it how they had no back story and you never saw their faces. They just did what they did because they wanted to! :eek: Now that is scary!!!

The last scene however was ruined for me because i knew what would happen as the week The Strangers was released in the UK, the director of the movie announced a sequel! Duh!!!! :rolleyes:
 
Its a good enough film.

Nothing actually EVER happens until right at the end, but it doesnt really matter because the tension is built and there are a few very good scares. I think the volume of the knocks etc. is what makes it really quite frightening.

I enjoyed it. 6.5/10
 
According to www.imdb.com "The Strangers" was written 2 years before the French film "ils" aka (Them) was made.

I went to see "The Strangers" today.I thought it was an alright film.Not the best horror i've seen but it also wasn't the worst i've seen.The masks spooked me out & it seemed the strangers were playing with their victims.For example they didn't destroy the radio in the barn straight away.They waited until Kristen was using it & then destroyed it.Also the scene where the male stranger is walking about the house,sits down on the chair & then gets up & walks out the room.They didn't seem to be in any rush to get the job done.

Also i wonder who Jordan was?.At the start of the move we hear the 911 call by someone called Jordan (i think it's a female).During the telephone call we see the aftermath of what happened to Kristen & James.
