The Strangers: Chapter 1 sees the return of the anonymous masked killers as they terrorize a couple in a cabin. Starting off with a significantly worse retread of the original film was not a very good way to launch a new trilogy.

My favorite part was when, after homeboy has made it back with the burgers - following three separate “Is Tamara here?” interactions and homegirl’s run in with the stranger inside the cabin - they see the chicken hanging from the ceiling and homegirl screams, “GO LOCK THE FRONT DOOR!” Are you kidding me?! First off, I would have been gone well before a third (maybe even a second) Tamara interaction could have taken place, but even if I had stayed “to keep the plot moving”, no door in that house would have been unlocked. I was getting dizzy in the theater because I couldn’t stop shaking my head at the utter stupidity.

While the movie was a retread, I have to say this was one of the most memorable theater experiences I ever had. The audience cheered whenever the main characters suffered. While that probably wasn’t the actor s or filmmaker’s intention, I can’t recall any film in recent memory where the audience was this into it. There was thunderous applause, hooting and hollering, uproarious laughter, and shouting at the screen. I felt emotionally drained after the experience and wondered if audiences have become too clever or too sadistic.

Preach... What made me mad is they marketed this as a prequel. "See How the Strangers Became the Strangers", so that's what I walked in with expectation wise just to realize it's the same movie from 2008. Also, for as dumb as the characters are, at least in the original I felt genuine senses of dread because shots of sack head in the background in the house undetected was much more believable. They really ramped the Strangers' skills of being within a couple feet undetected and disappearing without a sound within a couple moments in a creaky house that could be practically blown over with a fart...

It’s unfortunate how Renny Harlin’s career has gone over the past twenty years. In my opinion, he had four solid, enjoyable films he put out in the 90’s. Those being Die Hard 2: Die Harder, Cliffhanger, The Long Kiss Goodnight, and Deep Blue Sea. That’s not to say he’s only directed low quality films since Deep Blue Sea. For example, I think 2004’s Mindhunters is pretty decent. However, he’s put out about fifteen movies this century, and from the ones I’ve watched, none of them surpass being a relatively enjoyable way to spend an hour and forty five minutes. I think this shows how certain directors lose their way with where they want to go with their approach to filmmaking when that approach starts to feel a bit outdated.

these movies were based on 2 infamous crimes....1) the manson murders of 1969 and 2) the keddie cabin murders in 1981...I wouldve made the movie closer to the keddie cabin murders because the killers were never caught and there's a whole story behind the victims which would play out great on screen. Hopefully someone will do this story justice in the future.

Stupid characters/decisions give the horror genre a bad name. Lazy writing only created to move the plot along. Plastic creations with no mind about the characters. "Train to Busan" is somewhat the oposite. A character driven plot, touching some emotional chords... with a lot of hive minded zombies in it.

as a fan of both the original & prey at night, chapter 1 was absolutely dreadful. I read where this wasn’t supposed to be a reboot but similar to the original. it was the SAME EXACT movie as the original however there was no ounce of suspense whatsoever. why does every horror movie nowadays have a character that has asthma? it’s become such a cliche that you know that their asthma will play a role later on in the movie. the mid credit scene was ridiculous and pretty much stole from prey by night’s ending. I suspect chapter 2 will find the lead character in a trailer park and ripping off from prey by night storyline. this new movie is a sad attempt at a cash grab
