The original in 2005 is still the scariest 'could really happen' horror movie I've ever seen. The second is more intense with the emotionally taut death scenes and timely background tunes. I jumped twice at the theatre.

This movie was so bad. The acting, the super weak story (if that was even a story), everything was just bad, and boring.
Please don't waste your time or money on this one.

The Strangers: Prey at Night is a color by numbers Slasher: minimal setup, fast paced Act II, Act III is executed cleanly. It is the horror film equivalent of a new look LA Rams screen pass, Goff to Gurley II, good for 9 yards. Early in the film there's an effective long shot panning slowly into a conversation in a gas station parking lot. Christina Hendricks delivers solid character work. At some point soon, we should begin appreciating the weird, post-Mad Men roles she's taken, and enhanced. There are some new takes on time honored/trodden Slasher tropes, making them just fresh enough to avoid the full ennui of the connoisseur.

I take back the incredible review I gave this. While it was a great Strangers movie, we saw one of their faces and they all died. The point of the first movie was no matter what the protagonists did, they were killed. It's supposed to be bleak and inevitable, but what makes it more terrifying is that you never see them, so they could be anybody. This threw the point out the window. They could have at least let the villains die in The Strangers 3. I'm disappointed to say the least...
