Critics Consensus

A dismal conclusion to a trilogy that had already exhausted The Strangers' appeal from the jump, this final chapter goes to show that familiarity can breed contempt.

Audience Says

Familiar to audiences by now, The Strangers: Chapter 3 offers a solid lead performance and may scratch the itch for some franchise loyalists, but it ultimately lacks tension, plot, and soul.

2/5

Renny Harlin’s bloated trilogy concludes on a chapter that shows flickers of life amid the deaths, but there’s no masking the that it’s not nearly enough.

Ultimately The Strangers: Chapter 3 offers no redeemable qualities and is so vacuously unremarkable that it is already in the process of being forgotten.

By the end, I wasn’t rooting for the fictional Maya to survive the night as much as for the actress who plays her to move on to better material.

This concluding chapter seems destined to please almost no one other than those mystical, befuddling folks who wanted to know what makes the Strangers tick. And even then... it’s difficult to imagine much satisfaction from such a languid experience.

Most of the creative choices made in the third act range from silly to downright insane as the story really unravels.

I saw part 1 and 2 so felt I needed to see the final part. It was a decent ending and gave some insight as to how the killers got their start.

Alright I was waiting to see who was under the dollface mask and was disappointed I didn’t see who it was.

I’ve never been a movie critic because I’m just there for a good time. However, this was easily one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.
