‘The Strangers’ … Part 2 ????

Rogue Pictures has just announced it has green-lighted a sequel to their summer hit “The Strangers”. Liv Tyler..well ..lives and is scheduled to return for the next installment. The three unknown villains will be back and we might find out where they went next. Bryan Bertino will also return to pen the sequel.The original was soooo creepy just for the fact that you never see the villain’s face. They could be anyone. Also the crimes are completely random. So it could happen to anyone or anytime… maybe even you!   Production is slated to begin the first part of 2009.  

Review: ‘The Strangers’

I just checked out the new flick “The Strangers”. This will give you new perspective about living in the country! The story, which is inspired by actual events, takes place in rural Wisconsin. The story Has James Hoyt (Scott Speedman) taking his girlfriend/fiance’ Kristen (Liv Tyler) to his family’s summer home following a wedding reception. Shortly after they arrive a knock comes at the door with a girl looking for “tamara”. This is where the “fun” starts!

Three masked figures then begin to appear everywhere thoughout the house and yard. They go unnoticed at first just leaving little clues to their presence. It’s kinda like the Keebler elves..FROM HELL! Once they are visible to the couple they begin to terroize the couple throughout the night!

This movie will creep you out and possibly encourage a trip to Home Depot for new deadbolt locks. “The Strangers” is not the typical Jason/Freddy/Pinhead slasher film that has the scream queen and jock doing everything that the typical victim would do. This one is fresh because they don’t open the door to the evil or walk down the wrong stairwell. It’s loaded with scenes that will have you jumping out of your seat ,and if your like fellow editor Scott, you’ll be crying for you mama(Scotts Note:..its true)!

The best line summed up the creepfest …Kristen says “Why are you doing this?!” masked intruder #1 replies…”Because you were home.”

WOW!

[Rating:2.5/5]

‘The Strangers’ gets some early reviews …

Ain’t it Cool scored an early review from the Toronto Film Fest here is a snippit:

“One of the things that I liked is that the two main characters aren’t
your typical horror movie leads. They don’t make bad decisions
(except for splitting apart once) and everything that I thought they
should try to survive, they did try, to varying degrees of success or
failure. They put up a fight and plan as best they can, but are never
given enough time to relax and figure out what to do. They are cut
off from the world, they are in the middle of nowhere. The bad guys
are hiding in the woods, coming and going from the house, and they
don’t want you to survive. If you can get into the movie enough and
put yourself in their shoes, you’ll get the scares you’re after. It’s
a movie about sick people doing sick things to people just for the
hell of it, so don’t expect anything else.”

I am going to see this tonight, and from the sounds of this review its going to scare the crap out of me, to which I wont be able to sleep for a week … Score.
