    Run of the mill scare Horror film. All about the scare tactics used to the build up towards the end scene. Very similar to Funny games but more worrying is this is based on a true event. Worth a watch once, more errie than scary.

    This is one of the better old school horror/thrillers I've seen in a long time. It's so unbelievably tense that I actually found myself jumping out of my seat a few times, which never happens to me. First time director Bryan Bertino shows a real talent for staging, framing, and...( read more) building suspense. He doesn't invent any new techniques, but he knows how to use old ones, especially Hitchcock's theory of suspense. I loved the minimal use of dialogue, the extended periods of silence, the small cast, and the plausibility of the whole situation.
    It's kind of interesting how the plot of this film bears a lot of resemblance to Michael Haneke's Funny Games. The Strangers is pretty much the film that Funny Games was condemning. But screw Haneke's hypocritical piece of junk. The Strangers is the real deal, a very well executed, efficient nail-biter of a thriller.

    if for no other reason i loved this film because it was such a welcome departure from the gore porn of horror films in recent years. perfectly terrifying with a disturbing but effective ending, this was one of the best horror films in recent years.

    Supposedly based on true events (or at least the assumed events), this chilling suspense thriller explores the terror of home invasion, but never really succeeds in terrifying. Some genuinely creepy moments come out of this 'by the numbers' affair, but as a horror it kinda bores....( read more) Liv Tyler proves to be a very versatile lead, and as suspense thriller it's just okay. Could have been so much more. 'Funny Games' is far superior.

    Oh fuck me, I thought this would be a realistic Horror film, not filled with pathetic characters and amatuer killers. After I found out the REAL story was which the director based this film on I lost even more respect for this film. To those who thought this was scary learn to re...( read more)ad subtitles and watch Funny Games that's all I got to say.

    Seneless and pointless. The ending really ruined it for me when they decided to implement the loud scream.
