Lock the doors. Assume you're safe. The horrifying events that took place in the Hoyt family's vacation home at 1801 Clark Road on February 11, 2005, are still not entirely known. Champagne. Rose petals. Candlelight. It was supposed to be a night of celebration for Kristen McKay (Liv Tyler) and James Hoyt (Scott Speedman).

But after leaving a friend's wedding reception and returning to the house, everything had collapsed for the happy couple. Then came a 4 a.m. knock on the door and a haunting voice. Is Tamara here?

Writer/director Bryan Bertino explores our most universal fears in The Strangers, a terrifying suspense thriller about a couple whose remote getaway becomes a place of terror when masked strangers invade. The confrontation forces Kristen and James to go far beyond what they thought themselves capable of if they hope to survive.

yes it had scary moments where you jumped out of your seat.but the problem is it dragged and the story line was too simple and lacked substance. i don't normally bag movies but this one gets it. babyzilla on 19/08/2008 at 9:52:03 PM

I had been waiting months to see this movie and Ive just got back from seeing it and don't want anyone else to sit through such a pathetic film, it has a nothing story line which makes you think its based on a true story events but research has shown me its not at all, and the ending is even worse, a few little jumps at the start but it gets old real quick. The most exciting thing I worked out was that Gemma Ward was one of the killers, dont worry I haven't ruined it for you cause you never find out who they were.5/10 Leashylou on 19/08/2008 at 9:23:25 PM

Do not go see this movie expecting a gorefest with loads of action sequances. This film is a slow burn, suspensful horror film like Halloween which succeeds on all accounts. JCruzer on 18/08/2008 at 1:02:03 PM
