Highly Overrated But Still Good

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Why all the bad reviews? Did I watch a totally different movie from everyone else because I thought this was a solid home invasion thriller. The pacing was great and the movie kept me at the edge of my seat throughout. The opening 10-15 minutes are slow but I feel like it overall added to the movie. I went into this film expecting a solid home invasion thriller and that's exactly what I got. 8/10

The Strangers, follows a couple as they stay in a vacant vacation home after some relationship issues not realizing they will soon be fighting for their lives as three strangers are hunting them around the house to kill and terrorize. The film is pretty gruesome considering these were based on true events. This film is okay though keeps the suspense. The movie was a bit dragged and took a while for the killers to prey even though most scenes they could have killed the couple on the spot. Though, I guess that's just part of their game. I would recommend the film for those looking for a light thrill.Kristen: "Why are you doing this to us?"

A couple are terrorized in their holiday home by three unknown, masked assailants. Home invasion movies have been around since at least the early 70's and are still being churned out now, this one has nothing new to add. Apart from perhaps the creepy masks and the fact that this was made several years before The Purge. In it's favour it does have a few effective moments of terror plus Liv Taylor. But what I hated about this film most was it's awful shakey camerawork, it's all over the place, had the guy behind the lens been drinking?? It's a time killer & horror addicts like me will give it a go, I'm just glad that I watched it for free on TV. And I wouldn't bother giving it a second viewing.

This movie is astonishing. There is this constant creepy mood throughout the show that keeps you on your toes of what will happen next. This movie completely leaves the whole "pop-out scares" to get you freaked out and rather preys on you by using multiple tiny little details that make your hair stand up. This constant use of paranoia is what makes the movie a classic. The characters are somewhat likeable. You will likely end up cheering for them but you won't have strong feelings when you see them suffer because the movie doesn't spend a whole whack of time developing them before the killers come into the picture. Just enough to make you feel a minor connection.What this horror movie does well is build up the tension. In most movies, we see the tension get built up for about twenty minutes then you have a big scare which releases the tension. Then builds it back up and so on. The Strangers doesn't give you that break. It continues to build up and up and up and you get more freaked out and paranoid, anticipating the end. It works in such a beautiful way that you don't feel ripped off when you don't see any actual killing.Now I know it is against the rules but I feel obligated to stand up for this film since I see it is getting unfair critique. Many people are giving it dangerously low ratings because the characters did not behave logically in certain situations...People mess up on everyday things. I'm sure if you throw in three killers in a stressful situation, they aren't thinking about every detail but rather acting on pure adrenaline. people gave this a rating of 1 star because the guy took off his jacket which had the bullets in it...I mean, I forget my car keys half the time and that is on a good day and without mass murderers trying to stab me with pointy objects so I don't think giving this low ratings because the characters made some poor decision justifies the entirety of this film. If you are looking for blood, guts, people dying left and right, this is not the film for you. If you want a creepy show that will make your hair stand up and have you shouting at the screen, then watch this!
