The Strangers may not be the most intelligent or original horror film, but it's nonetheless a terrifying film that will leave you scared to stay home alone.

A good, suspenseful, horror film. In the RT consensus you may have read the following: "The Strangers provides a few scares, but offers little else to distinguish itself from other slasher films." and while I have a few critiques of this film myself which keep it from being better, I do not agree with this consensus. This slasher distinguishes itself with it's premise. We've probably all feared experiencing a break in while in the house, some crazed serial killer coming in to kill us right where we are supposed to feel the safest. This film exploits this. It goes from a stranger knocking on the door late at night disturbing a not-so-happy couple, to three strangers (inevitably) hunting this couple down. These villains have Micheal Myer's power, which as I mentioned in my review of The Hitcher, is the antagonist's ridiculous ability to appear /disappear at will, and to generally know just exactly where their victim is... The failed catchings / life spares are simply there to fill in the 90 minutes. With all that said, it's a minor annoyance, and this is a pretty good film otherwise. Not the most unique horror film you'll ever see, but rightfully it's own piece. Enjoy it for what it is, it's well done.

Horror elements work and it effectively relies on a super slim story. Other then that, this film becomes frustrating
-
the scares come from the beginning when the lead character has no idea of the impending danger. once the villains reveal themselves it becomes a tiredsome race to a forgettable conclusion. the final third really lets the wheels for off
