And the couple walked into the house. And they heard strange noises. And these killers started chasing them around the property. And they almost got away. And they were captured. And then…

Feel cheated? Incomplete? That’s exactly how The Strangers left. I guess it’s not supposed to be your traditional classic horror movie. Not I Know What U Did Last Summer. It keeps you trapped in suspense for the first 45 minutes. Every noise, masked barbie doll, dropped glass, token white girl scream etc. But after that the novelty of it all stopped.

The character’s weren’t developed so I didn’t care who lived or died. Just walked out the theater and don’t remember any names. The kills had no point. The love story was the scariest part of all. If you’ve seen the preview, you’ve seen the movie. Save your money.
