The Strangers - Blu-ray Forum

Just got home from seeing "The Strangers". Good flick. I cannot remember the last time a movie made me physically jump like this one did.

Eddie likey. Definitely picking this one up on Blu when it comes out. Maybe they'll make an unrated or director's cut. Some of the stuff in the previews wasn't in the movie.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to this on blu ray.

Can you add some general spoilers? Is it a ghost movie? Other?

Saw it as well. It had some great tension at times. It seemed like it could really be happening. It did start to lose its momentum near the end. Over all I was hoping it would have been better. My friend hated it. I thought it was pretty good but not much of a re-watch value to it.

The ending was just another lame horror ending but I really loved the first 30 minutes or so very creepy at the beginning but just got more cliche as it went on.

Yep. Fantastic first 30 or so then just devolves into BS. The ending really sucked too.

I guess I'll just wait until it comes out on BD

Nope, not a ghost movie. It's supposedly based on a true story about a violent crime that took place in 2005.

I didn't mind the ending. It kind of made me feel like I just watched something I shouldn't. Not a lot of gore in this movie, which I like from time to time, but I thought it was good.... beginning, middle and end.

good movie B-

The Strangers was a pretty decent flick. It delivers both scares and tension with equal fervor. I haven't jumped this much since 2003.

One scene, which is a horror film cliché, in which a main character hides in a closet was redone quite well. The way the scene inside the closet was framed (you have to watch to see what I mean) and the way Liv held her breath makes the tension feel so real; I was holding my breath in the whole time as well!

Maybe I will check it out tomorrow. A little unrelated to the topic, but interesting. The movie became a financial sucess on Friday (date of initial release). It's production buget was $9 million and made $7 million on just Friday's ticket sales.
