The Strangers
Well going into it i could swear this was a remake or something and Im sure it is, i just havnt seen or heard of the “original” yet. I went and saw this at the Chinese Mann out in Hwood and well i liked it. Im not normally into movies about mindless human violence i.e SAW series and HOSTEL but not to be confused with great action movies like 300 but this movie was good. And even though it was about mindless human violence it wasnt grotesques and over done like the “horror” movies we’ve seen recently. It was much more suspenseful than just stab stab stabaroo.
So the movie is about a couple at the guys summer home back in Feb of 2005. This is apparently based on actual events but i dont know. So the couple left a wedding and is in the summer home when some chick knocks on the door looking for some woman that doesnt live there. It happens again and then shit starts to roll down hill.
the whole movie takes place in the summer home located somewhere in what i think is the western US but i dont know exactly because they dont say or atleast i didnt catch it when they said where they were. I say this bc the house is in a town that either woods or empty rodes and there appeared to be no neighboring houses.
the movie is very suspenseful but it kinda gives itself away with its camera angles bc you can see a lot of stuff coming but its still good. you’ll pay for the seat but only need the edge. Scary? not really. not unless you live in a similar area but it was good.
overall id go watch it. its a good time. but keep in mind that its a movie targeting a younger crowd so you might run into assholes and dumbasses who bring fucken todlers who cry into the movie theatre. WTF is wrong with you people?
but yes. go. go watch this.
