The Strangers (2008)

Written by Gimly on October 2, 2018

Upon first viewing, The Strangers was one of only two films I'd seen that actually ever frightened me as an adult (well, a seventeen year-old, but close enough). To be fair, both films I'd seen in the same setting - alone, the middle of the night, in the aptly named "Suicide Flats", and what's more, I've since re-watched The Strangers a couple of times and realised that both my fear, and my enjoyment, were perhaps a bit overstated on that first viewing. Even taking that into account though, and seeing it again almost a decade after that first time, I still honestly believe that The Strangers is a good movie, with some pretty genuinely creepy elements.

Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time.
