The Strangers (2008)
3/10
Had some potential but missed the target completely
31 May 2008
Plot- It's lacking and a bit confusing. We really don't get to know these characters at all. Pretty much right off the bat the "scary" begins to happen, so it's almost a 2 hour cat and very stupid mice game. As a viewer, you don't know anything about the masked intruders except that they walk around the house making noise and emerge out of shadows.

Acting: There was no chemistry between scott and liv. Pure and simple. When you've got two actors in a 2 hour film, it has to be believable that they are in love, or even get along.

Writing: very green writing. Its know that the direct has really only done a few attempts at screenplays and it shows. The disclaimer in the beginning wasn't needed and was somewhat confusing given the ending to the film.

In all I'm glad I used free movie passes to see it, or else I would've gone and got my money back about 30 minutes in.

I suggest waiting for it to be on TV, or renting it in a few months. No use spending 10 dollars on tickets...use it for gas money.
