Strangers 2

[GreenScar]

I never saw the original. I read most comments here that said it started off really good and seemed to fall apart at the end. Well, it was successful enough to spawn a sequel.

Honestly, I gotta say this bit of news came a lot later than expected. ‘The Strangers’ came out May of 2008, it cost $9 million, and it made $52 million in domestic. ‘The Strangers 2′ should have been fast-tracked with Rogue Pictures throwing all kinds of cash in Bryan Bertino’s direction to get the writer/director back on board.

Instead, the news comes out today, nearly 14 months later, that ‘The Strangers 2′ is set to begin shooting this coming Fall. What’s more, it doesn’t appear Bertino will be returning. Instead, French director Laurent Briet will be filling the director’s chair. This will be his first feature film, as he has previously worked on music videos and special effect for ‘The Ring.’

Bertino will be returning as screenwriter for the sequel. Rumors are that Liv Tyler will be returning to reprise her role from the first film, but nothing has been confirmed.

The first movie seemed to be one of those love it or hate it movies. I really enjoyed the first one. My fear is the 2nd one will be a direct to video movie similar to Vacancy 2.

Not the same case. The Strangers was a box office success and a theatrical follow up is all but guaranteed.

This movie was great from start to finish. The ending was awsome and just because the bad guys won most people cant accept it. I loved this movie and watch it anytime I can. Its true to life and shows that not everyone survives.

Best quote of the day!
I bet most kids that hate this movie also hate the ending to The Mist. When the bad guys win, it's automatically a horrible movie?

First, the bad guys did not win.

[Show spoiler]The girl screams at the end, indicating she is still alive, unless that is something dead bodies do

That was my problem with the movie; it did not have the guts that the MIST had, it just did the predictable thing,

[Show spoiler]Kill half the remaining people, and leave one person still alive to enact vengeance in the next movie

, SUCKED.


However, I did like that it escaped from the Hostel-type genre that has dominated horror for the last few years. That is why this and SAW outshine all the rest of the horror movies of late.

The ending was still suck-balls though.

So then you must think that the original TCM sucked also? Same ending...

[Show spoiler]the girl also got away. Plus, how do you know Liv will "enact vengeance" in the next one? I heard the strangers drive into a trailer park and terrorize new victims.

EXACTLY! I completely agree (except that the Strangers outshone other horror movies).

Also about the Mist, i don't really see how the "bad guys" won. I just see the ending as a very sad one.

I love it when the bad guys win. It happened in The Dark Knight! The good guys couldn't undo what happened so they try to cover it up (will it work, we'll find out next time).

Sorry most of you hated one of the best movies in Horror history

eesh. like..not even close. ever.

i'm still sorry i watched the movie. the trailer was 100x more creepy/scary then the movie was. a sequel is a bad idea to me..but hey..it'll still make money

[Jellybeans]

It was a medium movie. (6.5/10)

It doesn't deserve a sequel

I think you mean mediocre.

Yeah there has been talk of a sequel since the first one was released so hopefully we see it one of these days.

i wish the story stayed a bit truer to the real story...but, i know many people who love it.. and many like myself who thought it was meh......people who like it seem to say its because it can happen to them, which i can understand
