IMDB tells us this about the film: "According to director Bryan Bertino, 'The Strangers' is partially based on an incident that happened to him as a child. One evening a stranger came to his door and asked for someone who wasn't there. The stranger left, but later Bertino found out that other homes in his neighborhood had been broken into that night." Fittingly, that story is just about as fucking boring and pointless as "The Strangers" itself.

So, here's the thing. You can't make a slasher movie without any slashing, especially when you're trying to (poorly) channel the era of Black Christmas and Halloween. When the only suspense your movie can create is the possibility of two terrible characters dying, you have to make us root against it happening, not praying for it.

Underrated mass murderer skill #12: the ability to never move when your victims are staring at you from four-score paces, but deftly maneuver behind a tree/shed/crate the minute they are distracted, so that it will appear that you've vanished once they look back again. Max difficulty: syncing ability up with two other malcontents.

The initial suspense is palpable but soon becomes redundant and leaves the viewer just waiting for the movie to end, however once you reach the ending you'll be let down to the point you'll wonder why you wished for it.

An initially unnerving and suspenseful little horror film, The Strangers quickly loses its appeal and becomes a one-note exercise in tedium. What a terribly over-serious film this is, with nary an ounce of fun to be found. I patiently waited for the film to end, only to discover that I should have just turned it off an hour ago. An utterly pointless waste of time that has a decent premise but doesn't know what to do with it.

I think it's very well executed for what it's trying to be - suspenseful, disturbing, hopeless, well-acted and written and shot in a compellingly lean, no-frills fashion. I'm not sure however that I particularly care for what it's trying to be. It feels like a movie with no real POINT other than, I guess, "don't answer the door to a weird knock at 4am."

Gives me what I want from my horror: 3 dimensional protagonists who have a compelling problem even before the evil shows up. They don't do anything stupid either. The director also wrings a great deal of suspense out of 1 of the most relatably scary scenarios: the fear anyone would feel if they were alone in an isolated area & someone started banging on the door at 4am. The attempt at torture porn at the end started to lose me though & the lack of explanation, while expected, was unsatisfying.

The problem with this film is not so much its “nihilism” as the fact it presents a particularly egregious example of illogical behaviour from its protagonists, with the boyfriend’s decision-making being especially ludicrous. Additionally, it really goes nowhere, so that what was effectively tense for the first half becomes decreasingly so as it dawns on the audience that they can expect few if any narrative surprises. Genre fans willing to overlook these flaws may find it pleasingly scarifying.

This felt uneven, with some parts better and some parts utterly boring. Overall it amounts to quite an average movie, plus me thinking all the time how much Liv Tyler looks like an elf. I wish it didn't resort so much to the cheap 'boo!' stuff, because it often just cheapens the horror for me. There are parts that are quite disturbing and creepy, but the mood wasn't maintained throughout the entire movie. This is also one of those movies where you go "well that was a stupid decision to make".

This could have been great. The first 30 minutes or so were really intense, with some really memorable scenes, but then it just kept getting worse and worse. Still, it is a nicely directed movie from a first timer, and this is better than a lot of popular horror movies in the last few years, if only because of the beginning.

Admittedly, the shot of the stranger in the house for the first time (seen to the left) was one of the scarier moments I've experienced in a horror movie for a while. Unfortunately, the strangers' inscrutable motive of very slowly capturing the two people definitely begins to take its toll as the movie slowly starts to bore. I can't help but think that they would have survived if Dennis Reynolds didn't turn up, or that the movie could have been much better if the Mormon bookend wasn't included.

I went into this expecting good things, and I totally understand the minimalist techniques to build suspense, but this film takes it a broad jump too far to the point that it actually becomes annoying to watch and you're begging for the the main characters to get maimed and killed already.

Even though I am not a fan of Liv Tyler, she actually carries this movie pretty well on her own. Pretty suspenseful movie that that, at times really relies on the fact that there was a lot of total silence in some scenes. This was much better than I thought it was going to be.

Not very impressed. There has always been kind of a cult following for this, but I don't really get it. It's kind of just another slasher/home invasion movie. The strangers themselves aren't really creepy or terrifying, they're just bland killers. Also aside from the first 10 min, the main characters don't have anything to them, and it makes it hard to root for them. The cast had decent performances, and the cinematography had a few nice shots, but it's not very memorable.

The mood and atmosphere are tense and suspenseful, at least at the beginning. The problem is that for a film purportedly on a very "real" topic, having ingenious, practically invincible baddies makes this less scary and more like watching nihilistic torture of innocents.

The Strangers is a good horror movie that gives you what you want: Scary situations and characters. My heart was pounding for a lot of the time it was playing, and I ended up having a lot of fun, especially with the amazing final scene. While the shaky-cam did get to me, and the characters had pretty much no depth, I got what I came for with this film. It also gets better when I think about it, which is a good sign in my eyes.

Sufficiently scary and really keeps ahold of you throughout the (rather brief) entirety. That said, there's nothing truly unique here: A number of well-placed jumps, suspenseful moments, and unexpected turns. I actually found this movie to be rather unpredictable plot-wise (though the plot became an after-thought in the dragged-on high-angst moments). This movie (unsuccessfully) tries to tie in to the Blair-Witch-esque "based on true events" craze, but is overall nothing more than a good scare.

Starts off suspenseful and then just turns slow and plodding. The concept is promising, but they just don't do anything with it, which is a shame because there's a lot of creepiness in the silent strangers wearing their masks. Ultimately, though, the ending makes the whole thing feel pointless.

I have never laughed so hard during a movie. Really, they outdid themselves. Pure genius. Can't wait for the sequel. The best part was definitely the sequence on the road, when the three murderers met some young Christians and asked for a pamphlet because they sin "sometimes." The symbolism was so rich, I felt it explode on my face.

Things start out pretty well for "The Strangers," as the filmmakers slowly crank the tension and escalate menacing dread, but at about the halfway point, the characters get a little too dumb, and we soon realize these killers have no sense to them or any new trick to pull on us. The goofiness increases and by its sadistic ending, "The Strangers" misses an opportunity to be creative, a disappointment since things started out so well. "Vacancy" is about the same movie, just a little better.

Predictably awful in places, like knowing the best friend was gonna get shot by Speedman- how very lame. Even though Tyler was good, what could have potentially been truly horrifying just drags on to a climax that although grim and chilling, is far too brief. And it would have been far more effective had it ended there instead of the lame christian fellowship discovery epilogue.

Definitely a by-the-tropes screenplay. In a genre (horror, broadly) where formulae and predictability are already common criticisms, the home-invasion subcategory still manages to stand out as particularly selfsame. Strangers is admittedly decent at establishing tension but loses steam and does little else to distinguish itself. https://letterboxd.com/pickle_man2135/film/the-strangers/

For what it was, it was a well-executed and very tense movie. Despite the fact that the whole plot was evident from the get-go (including major developments, such as the friend's unexpected appearance, and the entire ending), the film still made you squirm in a lot of places. My one real complaint (besides the Carrie-ripoff ending) is that the film initially impressed me for not relying on gore, but threw that out the window in one of the final sequences.

Though its premise provides plenty of opportunity for character and atmosphere, the Strangers fails to deliver on either by living solely on its basis and never raising the stakes. Liv Tyler carries the movie with her tortured performance, but there can only be so many minutes of her hiding in silence or screaming in desparation before it gets old.

Good for this kind of horror movie. The scariest part about it was just how easy it seemed for the killers and the reality of it.

Very effective when it comes to scares. Good camera work, particularly when it comes to framing and use of focus. Good use of sound too. My only complaint is the last act. The resolution is just awful and leaves you with nothing. That cuts down my opinion of it by a lot.

Horrors often frustrate me with the stupidity of the characters but this really takes the biscuit. Given any number of options these idiots will undoubtedly choose the stupidest most dangerous option. I've seen everything here before only this is worse!

The twist, I guess, is the lack of twist, giving it a surprising lack of...anything... Didn't see that coming.

Much better than the torture porn that has become so popular as of late. One of the very few films that have kept me tense for quite some time after the credits rolled. This film is the first in a very long time to remind us what fear really means. Tyler and Speedman play well with what they have, although not much is required on their parts. It is shot beautifully frightening and all aspects of set design are well-done (including within the house, where you feel claustrophobic as well).

"...bears more than a passing resemblance to Them, the French horror film about a couple in a secluded house who are stalked by mysterious, almost supernatural tormenters."

"Don't run into the woods!" "Well, there she goes; she ran into the woods." "Don't leave her in the house alone!" "Welp, there he goes; he left her in the house by herself." "Don't lay down that knife!" "Well, there she went; she laid down the knife." *sigh* No matter how well shot and creepy The Strangers is, the fact is.., the movie is merely a sequence of contrived scenes where characters stumble around without thinking or reacting rationally. Blame this on a poorly written script.

I'm the kind of person who checks behind shower curtains when I get home late at night, so no surprise that I think this is one of the scariest movies I've ever seen.

Could have used an extra bit of umph in the finale, but a fine first effort for the director, none the less. Shame he hasn't put out a thing since...

An incredibly lazy horror film, full of cliched, cheap and repetitive scares. The nihilistic storyline does not shock/disturb and only serves to illustrate that the filmmakers were unable to imbue it with any kind of emotional weight or significance.
