I love the original Strangers and will even stand up for the second one because it actually did something surprising. Those who saw it will hopefully know what i mean. But its also surprising (in a bad way) that they churned out another one here.
I watched it out of curiosity. Thinking it was a prequel, and to start with the positives. It still has the suspence of the original turned up high. So is a half scary movie.
But then there's the negatives. It won't be a surprise to anyone who saw the trailer that the movie is just too much like the original. Which isn't even that old. It probably won't be a surprise either that the couple in the movie are literally the dumbest characters ever, and have multiple chances to get away that they don't take. The guy in the movie even manages to lose his inhaler not once but twice, and that's not even as dumbest thing he does.
What is more surprising is that this is the first part of a trilogy, and there are things in here that make it almost impossible to be set before the original. So is it a prequel? A remake? I don't even think they know. But i do know that this movie should be the last, as there are only a few stabs at anything new here, and there's definitely not much else you can do with it as a series.
