So, it took ten years for The Strangers to come up and finish a sequel. Well, basing my experience with other sequels and meta-sequels that took their sweet time following up a movie (Psycho II, The Town That Dreaded Sundown (2014), Phantasm V: Oblivion and Jeepers Creepers 3) I'm both excited and rightfully nervous, if not terrified of the notion of it flopping. (The latter thanks to the latter two movies mentioned. Worst. Sequels. Ever.)
So far, I can tell that The Strangers: Prey At Night may do more slasher-lite stalking and killing. I could be wrong, of course, since the trailer for the first The Strangers (2008) did made itself look like one, but unlike that film, this entry seems to have more characters in play so here's hoping to a considerable bodycount and more hack'n slashing action.
There was a damn fine home invasion flick released this year called Better Watch Out.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't recommend that you watch the trailers though, they spoil the best part of this ingenious horror black comedy.
I actually saw the movie already and yeah, it was a pretty fine home invasion flick. I'm kinda looking forward to reviewing it this December.
DeleteNever saw the trailer though. I found out about it through word of mouth...or word of blogs...
