Watched last night with my family. If you want a good movie to make your wife shut her eyes and plug her ears this is it. It is a suspenseful movie, you do not know where the strangers are going to be next..in the house or outside. Anyways overall not a bad movie.

This movie had so much potential. It could have been great. In fact, the first 30 minutes were. There was mounting suspense, I was actually creeped out. Then it did a nosedive. It was a complete ripoff of Vacancy, and what's worse is that it wasn't even a good ripoff! This could have been a fantastic movie, but it faltered. At one point, I was begging for the death of the main characters so that the movie would end! The last 45 minutes were so mindnumbingly stupid that I just wound up getting mad and wanted the movie to end. So much potential was squandered here. I'm a hardcore Horror movie fan, so this may appeal to those who are interested in thrillers or suspense. It might be entertaining for you...it was not for me.

This movie is a great horror movie in the tradition of older, more suspense based horror movies. The strength of it is is simplicity. . .just a couple "trapped" in their country home setting. . . The Strangers gives horror fans the best of both worlds. It feels like a slasher, without being silly or over the top. At the same time it is not "over the top" with gore or blood. This is a thriller/suspense that feels like a slasher. The only con is perhaps the suspense builds SO STRONGLY through the movie, I can see where some people thought the ending was anti-climactic.
What's great about it: Great Simple Nail Biting Thriller/Horor movie

Great DVD Quality, nice extras though I would have liked more. Don't you just love the phrase "inspired by true events?" That can mean just about anything these days and I've heard it all when it comes to this film. This film seems clearly inspired by the Manson murders of the 60's but is not a true story as presented. Given that, the film does an excellent job of building tension in the first 30 mins. I saw this at a Midnite Movie pre-screen and the audience jumped and screamed a little bit here and there. **Spoilers **After the first 30 though, the characters start acting typically dumb but at one point they manage to get a gun while The Strangers have only knives and an axe. In my book, that's game over for The Strangers. But not in this case as the characters we're supposed to connect with manage to screw that up as well. How do you screw that up? Eh, watch and see, it's pretty silly. Anyway, the end really holds back and pulls all punches and falls completely flat. Another reviewer mentioned Vacancy. This film bears a lot of similarities to Vacancy, but Vacancy is a superior film. So give this one a shot and see for yourself. I understand that The Strangers 2 is already under consideration as well.
