This was one of the scariest movies I have seen in a long time. Muscles were clenched and heart was racing the whole time. I'm usually not one to be scared by your stereotypical "horror" film, but this one is not for the faint of heart. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

If it actually happened, then it truly is a VERY scary movie... But the story was pretty believable. I saw it by my self , and it had me looking over my shoulder the whole time.

Soon after they send her away she returns. Only this time she is not alone. Two more masked strangers join her. They quickly begin knocking on the doors and windows. They succeed in terrorfiying James "Speedman", Kathrine "Tyler" and the audience. One of the reasons the Strangers is so scary is because it is so simple. When "Kathrine" finally asks the question "why are you doing this to us?" They dont complicate things with a bad back story like most horror movies. The answer they give is simple, "because you were home." So it just makes it all scarier because everything that happened is so random, it could have happen to anyone. Also Kathrine and James are mabye the best horror movie characters ever. They react the way any normal person would. They scream, grab a weapon, try to call for help, and hide! very little gore, and a lot of suspense. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

I hate it because they just prolonged the movie that happened for just one night. It's not even scary at all. Doesn't make any sense for me. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
