What makes it different from others?

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Worst movie ever. No reason to waist your time with this

In 2008 I went alone into a theater to watch and unknown director's film called The Strangers. I was blown away with how logical the film was, how it got under your skin with it's organic progression and choice of realistic characters (not to mention stellar actors). The atmospheric frights of when you dont see the strangers are even more effective than when you do. The wind chimes, the noises. It reminds you that the woods are a scary place to be at night! Everything about that film reminded me of the potential horror films have. Bryan Bertino won me over and I could not wait to see what he would do next.Word of a sequel to The Strangers continued building steam over the years. Eventually the release date was set and it was announced Bertino would not be directing, but co-wrote the film. I doubt he did much of the co-writing other than offer an idea of the setting. I watched this last night on my friend's Plex server in my theater room. I am so happy i didn't spend a dime to watch this utter pile of trash. All of the majority of other reviewers (who have standards of logic when watching a film) have voiced the same observations I made. It was the opposite of the first Strangers by doing the following: horrible characters, terrible logicial decision making, no sense of giving the audience a reason to give a crap about anyone - including the strangers. The characters who die end up dying laughably. Why does everyone have to scream "Why don't you just leave us alone?!" after a few deaths are witnessed, and why is it necessary to scream people's names at the top of their lungs when they're running around the grounds trying to avoid getting spotted? The characters played perfectly by Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman in the first film made you care about them because why? THEY MADE LOGICAL DECISIONS! You cheered them on and when bad things happened, it made YOU feel on edge for them. This movie, however, I spent more time yelling at the screen because these characters annoyed me so much. As for the cinematography - average but it's the only thing that earns the 1 star here. The style and music here, obviously trying to ride the coattails of Stranger Things popularity in today's modern pop culture. Talk about cash grab! No originality - ZILCH! The ending was the worst I've seen in many years.Take it from me and stay far away from this abortion of a film. Even if you have the chance to watch it for free, don't. It's a complete waste of time and a shameful sequel to an otherwise fantastic original.

I wasn't already expecting much from this sequel based on the reviews but I chose to give it a try. Well, it's not often that I get insulted by a movie, but this one is so bad it made me really upset. Seriously, I could barely watch it to the end. Unbeliavably stupid characters and killers, bad acting, no tension, not scary at all, awkward deaths, they couldn't even get me in a jumpscare once. So embarassing it doesn't even deserve a comparison with the first one.

I take back the incredible review I gave this. While it was a great Strangers movie, we saw one of their faces and they all died. The point of the first movie was no matter what the protagonists did, they were killed. It's supposed to be bleak and inevitable, but what makes it more terrifying is that you never see them, so they could be anybody. This threw the point out the window. They could have at least let the villains die in The Strangers 3. I'm disappointed to say the least...
