I love Bertino’s film, I think it’s an amazing movie and tonally this movie is going to fit very well into that universe. It’s Christina Hendricks, Martin Henderson, Bailee Madison, Lewis Pullman, and they’re f***ing great. Strangers: Prey at Night is directed by Johannes Roberts from a script penned by Bertino and Ben Ketai the film stars Christina Hendricks, Bailee Madison, and Martin Henderson. Official Synopsis: When their road trip takes a turn, a family arrive at a secluded mobile home park to stay in a borrowed trailer for the night, until three masked psychopaths pay them a visit to test their every limit. Some do it just because they can……….The long-gestating sequel to Bryan Bertino’s home invasion masterpiece The Stranger will arrive in US Theaters on March 9th, 2018 under the title Strangers: Prey at Night! Many people argue that all killers have a reason for doing what they do, but this isn’t necessarily true. The lines above also raise a talking point. May have that same familiar ring to them. The methods employed by The Strangers are said to resemble those used by the followers of Charles Manson, and the lines: It isn’t based on a true story, despite its claim, but there are elements that may be familiar to crime buffs. This movie changed that, by having a small cast terrorised by The Strangers. Many slasher films don’t spend much time on the build up of terror, it is all about the body count and the blood spillage. You can’t have one without the other if you want a horror film to be successful. Terror is the emotional build up – the racing heart, clammy skin, shallow breathing etc – and the horror is the release – the scream, the running away, the fighting back. The members of the family are stalked and terrorised by the three masked assailants, and are are picked off one by one.Īll good horror movies need the right mix of terror and horror for them to be successful. Remember how I said this isn’t a typical slasher movie? The reason for this is that the filmmakers have taken time to weave the web of fear into the cast and audience alike. Needless to say, all hell breaks loose soon after. This is the second time that evening AND it is the same girl asking for the same person. With the kids gone, mum and dad think they might get some alone time, when there is a knock at the door. It doesn’t take the siblings long to find out why their aunt and uncle weren’t there to welcome them. A note left in the reception, written in a childish hand with a smiley face at the bottom, is a massive clue as to something being amiss, yet it is missed by Cindy, the mother.įamily time goes south and Kinsey, the daughter, stomps out, with her brother Luke sent to ‘talk’ to her. The movie follows a family who go to stay at a relative’s holiday trailer park, en route to taking their rebellious daughter to boarding school. Rather than being a typical slasher flick – all horror and no terror – the filmmakers really thought about what they were doing with this. This sequel has been a long time coming and I can honestly say that I wasn’t disappointed.
