The Strangers. A brilliantly made Home Invasion Horror movie inspired by real events which has a great story and interesting killers.
The movie builds tension throughout the entire runtime and keeps you on the edge of your seat while giving you a brilliant scare along the way.
The story in this one is really well handled with just two normal people staying away for the weekend getting traumatised by three killers its a great story which has a realistic atmosphere to It unlike some horror movies that I'm a fan of and that really helps the tone of this movie.
We also get a little backstory at the beginning with the characters and what led them to staying at the location and that's really well handled as well.
The killers are interesting and very creepy in my opinion and the fact that we never hear them speak for most of the movie really adds to the tone and creep factor of the movie.
They also keep knocking on the door each time to traumatise the main characters and every time you hear that knock it sends shiveres down your spine.
The ending is also really great in my opinion and I love how it leaves it open for a sequel and the way one of the killers says it will be easier next time leaves the movie with such a weird atmosphere and i really like that.
The only issues I have with the movie are the first 20 minutes are a little slow but once you hear the first knock at the door your on edge and its great.
I also feel like the movie loses some of its tension during the second act with one of the main characters crawling back and forth to a barn it becomes a little predictable and loses some of the atmosphere of the film but its nothing that ruins the movie in my opinion.
Verdict 9/10 a fantastic horror home invasion movie and one of my favourite horror movies the tension building is fantastic and really creepy and something that reminds me of a John Carpenter film some minor pacing issues in the first 20 minutes and it does become a little predictable in the second act but this is still a classic for horror fans in my opinion.
