TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

steve-sargol I have had a soft spot for this movie for years. It just seems to hit the right notes. Frustration over the protagonists actions without being ridiculous. A slow build... love that. Antagonists that aren't supernatural. A total lack of teen douchebags you just want to see die. Decent acting. Well done visuals - gritty and real feeling. The premise of violence for no real good reason combined with the regret and emotional strife of the main characters make this a truly scary film.

soliseduardo Complete garbage.... I just wasted one hour and twenty six minutes that I can't get back.... I'd recommend this movie to no one

Ilikehorrormovies I did like the movie but it feels like they try to be too much of Texas Chainsaw Massacre but with less gore. This movie is fast paced and athosphereic I have to admit including story, character, script, and writting. Is it the best? No. but is it great? Almost. Is it good? For the most part yeah. It's still good after 10 years. 8.3/10

shannen-l-c After hearing from a few people that 'The Strangers' was a must-see for horror fans such as myself, I decided to give it a go. Although the beginning was somewhat promising it quickly fell flat.I think the fear of being home alone and having someone break in is a very common one that we all experience on a regular basis. For that reason this movie does a good job at ramping up the initial tension and fear at the beginning. However, there is very little going on throughout the movie to hold the viewers attention and after half an hour or so I stopped paying attention to what was going on because I was bored. The worst part of the movie is that at the end the victim asks the mysterious masked killers why they're doing what they're doing and their response is, "Because you were in." At that point I'd completely lost all respect for what the movie was. The only appeal left in the movie after watching two people fumble around in a big house for an hour and a half trying to evade a violent death, was that perhaps there was going to be an interesting twist. To learn at the end that what happened only happened because the couple happened to be at home is beyond ridiculous and made me feel completely cheated. Though the idea behind 'The Strangers' has potential as it plays on a very common fear we all share of being targeted in our own homes, the way in which its written is uninventive and unrewarding. If this movie made a few changes it could've earned a 6, 7 or maybe even an 8 star rating. All it needed was more focus on the characters, a deeper back-story and for the killers to be connected to the main characters in some way and therefore had motive for their actions. But in failing to do these things, unfortunately, 'The Strangers' is utterly forgettable.
