The Strangers (Blu-ray)

“BECAUSE YOU WERE HOME.” Hello there and a wonderful Wednesday to you all! Time to break up the recent proceedings with a little modern home invasion film spotlight 🤘🤘🤘 I thought that this delectable double feature would be just the way to spend a few hours today. I’m a huge fan of the original The Strangers. While far from original in almost any way, it was just so damned effective! The performances were intense all around, and with the single location terror at full throttle the entire runtimes, it’s one of the more nail biting experiences in the genre. Of course, let’s not forget that ending! It surprised me more than anyone when they released a sequel, a full decade later. I had no idea it was even being considered. Even more surprising, was how much I enjoyed it, even more than the original. The slightly increased scope, being set in multiple locations in a trailer park, really worked to its favor in my eyes. I felt the feeling of the single location horror experience was maintained, but with more variety. I also really liked the characters. For some reason, for me this was the rare sequel that actually beats the original. Not a popular stance, but there it is! 😁🤘😎 ANY OTHER FANS OF THE STRANGERS??? WHICH IS YOUR FAVORITE???
