You probably won't be able to sleep tonight, after you watch it.

Watched it last night, still holds up and creeps the hell out of me. Just the little details - the sound of the loud knocks on the door, the creepy way Doll Face asks for Tamara, the lighting when Doll Face is just standing out in the distant driveway.
My 17 yo watched it with me and enjoyed it as well.
Also reminded me of what a goddess Liv Tyler has always been.
Anyone ever check out any of Bertino's other film? I'm curious to check them out.

I'd love to have something like this for the cover.

There was a wanted poster they had made after the movie made bank. It was awesome, but I can't find it.

Anyway, I'm pumped that this is getting the SF treatment! Hopefully we get news on the sequel sometime soon. What's Universal waiting for?

^^Always loved that poster too!

Leonidas King · 08-17-2017, 02:22 PM

I would expect a cover by now...

goldie1970 · 08-17-2017, 08:59 PM

Sounds like I have something to watch on HBO now tonight! Thanks for the heads up

Will this feature a new 4K remaster? I don't really see the point otherwise. Shout Factory haven't exactly been brilliant when it comes to bonus material of late. I'd expect a directors commentary at the very least.

JohnCarpenterFan · 10-26-2017, 03:18 PM

It's a digitally finished film and the existing Blu-ray looks bery good despite people having issues with how dark it looks, which is intentional anyway.

The last thing we need is more scans of film-outs considering they all end up looking worse than the DI.

JohnCarpenterFan · 10-31-2017, 08:14 PM

I joked about Drag Me to Hell getting a new film-out scan and SF recently announced that they were giving it a new film transfer, so there's a chance The Strangers will get a film-out scan too.

I can't recommend getting rid of your Universal discs just yet. It's ridiculous that scanning film-outs is even a thing, but I guess that's what hapoens when people want new scans of films finished digitally which already look fine anyway.

Why is this even an issue? The Strangers was shot on 35 mm.

It was finished digitally on a DI. Scanning a film element which is taken from the DI is going to result in a loss of detail and will introduce film-related artifacts as we've seen on SF's and Lionsgate's releases of film-out presentations.

It's pointless, why waste time and money making something look worse by scanning a film-out when there's a readily available DI?

SpaceThunderV · 11-01-2017, 12:34 AM

I enjoyed their film out scans of the Dead films, as they look more theatrical and less of that modern digital flat look being the norm.

Along with the new artwork post on Faccebook, they announced that this would be the reverse cover.

Jay Mammoth · 12-04-2017, 07:15 PM

Love the new art may have to preorder from Scream to get the poster.

InuYashaCrusade · 12-04-2017, 07:24 PM

Pretty nice cover. Lots better than the previous release.

OneWayFilms · 12-04-2017, 08:49 PM

I will be getting this, just to show my support for this AMAZINGLY creepy and haunting thriller. But the art work leaves me a little blah. I might reverse it for the backside artwork.
