The stupidest thing in the movie is that they think there would be a refrigerator repair guy in the middle of the night 😂
They apparently never lived in the apartment complex I used to live in. LOL
And why would they care that the fridge was on the fritz? They were going to be out of there the next day.
Haha
I laughed my ass off when they called him just to fix it for their 6 pack of beer. That was a dumb reason for that character to be there. Me and my buddy started doing some Mystery Science Theater because we were alone in the theater. Also I don't know about you,but if I heard people singing lullabies outside my window and hear people moving around outside the house, the last thing I'm going to do is turn on loud music,smoke a joint,and take a shower. Dumb characters.
Yeah lol that was so weird
This was such an insult to the original.
Brutal??
Laughs in Damien Leone.
Solid, honest review.
I'm tired of hearing, "Wait til the second and third movies!"
It's a justification for mediocrity and capitalism. I wasn't a huge fan of the first The Strangers, but Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman woke up and went to work that day. These two actors and Mr. Harlin just hit snooze.
Haha
6:35 people like that are weird. They'll treat Strangers: Chapter One like it's the scariest thing ever, then you show them something like Terrifier or Hereditary and they'd think it's boring.
Everyone is different
Love that you mentioned the asthma in hand that rocks the cradle!!
😈
Such a great film
A classic!
I appreciate you pointing out the depth of the characters in the first film, I think the family in Prey at Night also have an interesting dynamic. The most disappointing thing about this new film is definitely the lack of substance behind the lead characters.
Definitely
The two protagonists in this reminded me of the ones in Jeepers Creepers: Reborn! Haha.
Ha
Talking about older directors getting stuck in the past and not being creative:
David Lynch was like 71 when he made Twin Peaks: The Return and it was the craziest, most creative thing I've ever seen
Also speaking to what you guys said about Renny Harlin. Just found out the two screenwriters of this one don’t even have any experience in writing feature length films, they’ve only done TV shows like “King of the Hill”
Interesting
I saw this last night and got sleepy during it lol. I agree w you both.
I haven’t seen this one, but what made the first one so good was that it was a lot more realistic. For the most part, the way the characters reacted to what was happening was like what most people would do.
AND, the BIGGEST, most SHOCKING, UNEXPECTED ending: The chick LIVES!!!!!!!!!!😅
😱
25:59 damn you just fixed the movie with that hahaha wow that’s the movie I want , the safe neighborhood plot is awesome
My all time favorite video from yall. Absolutely loved the energy in this one. Kalie (sp?)shined big time. Keep this energy Kalie! So many great points. Luv yall.
And i cant wait to kayfabe to the second one with yall! It sucks but it can be our guilty pleasure franchise lol. We can diss it together. Luv yall.
Kali* thank you. We will get through it together
You earned my sub, thanks for the honest review!
Thanks for the sub!
If i smoke a blunt depending on the strain during a situation like this it would only make me more paranoid indica strains make u overthink
The original is just soo good. Perfect tension. And you bought the relationship. I cant rewatch the og because it scared me. Stuck with me. Just so good and believable.
Don’t watch this one then
Captivity is so good!!! I forgot about that movie.
Kali and Jason, appreciate your comments on the overwrought cliches of rural people in horror films, i.e. loogie spittin’, meat eatin’, hostile country folk that all marry as teenagers, most likely to a cousin. A film that actually does that well is Deliverance, where you can feel the underlying tension between the weekend warriors and the townsfolk that culminates into the terror of THAT scene. Yes, it has the tropes we’re talking about, but I think it doesn’t feel heavy-handed or unintentionally comedic like it does with this reboot. The filmmakers could have done some interesting commentary on rural gentrification , but they just made the original practically beat for beat.
Let’s hope it’ll all go together at the end of the trilogy.
It won’t fix this one
You’re both spot on in every point here. I hated this movie.
I definitely think the director wanted to take this on a fresh approach, however, poorly executed in the first entry to the trilogy. I do think the directors main focus was movies 2 & 3, the first movie felt like it was just put together off of footage they had from filming as they need to redo the first one in order to make the second and third any different. It wasn't a horrible movie, could it have been better following the original and Prey at Night? Absolutely- But I am still hopefully the second installment will be a lot better, and the third, maybe even better. This feels like a test. The Strangers franchise has been great at releasing thoughtful movies, this first one, however, didn't seem too thoughtful.
We shall see
Probably going to see this one on a half priced Tuesday, I already knew that would be the case but this review solidified that decision 😅.
I dont think this movie was needed, the two standalone’s were just fine, but nobody can leave things alone. This certainly isn’t a series that calls for a trilogy. Or more than the two that we got originally.
I had a decent time with it. It’s not better than the first two, but it’s fine. I’m in the minority though because Prey at Night is by far my favorite of the 3. I would love more like it.
PAN is my favorite too by far
I am so annoyed and drained of life energy after this so-called brutal horror movie.
Thank you to you both for so rightfully tearing this crap movie apart. I so enjoyed your review and couldn´t agree more on your comments.
Plus, I do wonder how that director pitched his poor ideas to investors yet still got the go/get the money to make it?!
They don’t care. They saw all the money Halloween made with its trilogy. That’s all they needed.
I think I’m in the minority, but I actually had some fun with this movie. Still enjoyed listening to both of your thoughts though 🙂
I’m glad
I mean when you think about it the couple were attractive theres the reverse halo effect thing so maybe they were used to people acting antagonistic or weird towards them all the time so that would explain them being so guillabe to the situation cause because of their looks theyve always attracted weird energy from other people but nothing came out of it until this point lol
so, like that 1st film. i’ll check it out on dvd.
I done fell asleep in the theater at some point lol. If anything, this movie made me wanna rewatch the original film tbh
Haha
this trilogy is a prequel so it's understandable that at first they didn't have there stuff perfected so hopefully in chapter 2-3 it'll get better
Right
The dumbest thing they ever did is going to an area to get something to eat. I would rather go to a major city where there plenty of people around. Every time a character goes to a small creepy town, things tends to happen. How are you doing today?
🤔
Glad I’m not crazy. A few reviews have come out in praise of this film and I can’t for the life of me understand why. It’s unbelievable that they tried to merge the tension of the first and expand the scope like the second yet somehow only offer the worst from both. It should be a sin to make such an easy home run into something so boring.
If a film isn’t scary, I’ll give it a pass in exchange for great kills and vice versa, but this offers neither. And it doesn’t help that almost nothing matters. The only thing that changes if he doesn’t have asthma is she isn’t left alone in the house to get us a couple lame jump scares before the movie really starts. Rolled ankle? Amounts to nothing. Random nail in the sand? only an issue for the 20 seconds under the floor. Murdering the owner? Means nothing, changes none of the characters actions or ugh. Nothing changes if any of this isn’t written into the film.
It also bothers me that the entire film progresses solely on poor decisions that don’t make any sense, which I can give some room for horror films but not when it’s every single cliche’ that’s ever existed from city folks in the small town, tripping in the woods, disappearing in the reflection/when the door opens etc.
Anyway, I hated it too 😂
Agreed
30:56 did you notice the writing in the door with blood or red paint was CGi !?
I didn’t but if true… yikes
I hate the strangers movie. But i loved You're Next!, in which you have a protagonist who has survival skills. Someone using an inhaler has become a cliche in horror movies, going all the way back to The Goonies.
There are a lot of people with Asthma
Didn't think about watching it, and now I'm not going too 😮
I’m a bit confused because reviews are saying that this doesn’t have to be R rated and there are a lot of cut away kills, but on IMDb it says there are strong bloody stabbings. Not that I have a chance to go see it anyway because it’s not releasing in my country. But how gory is this?
There is zero gore
Hoping that since the whole trilogy is out and done and when we get the second and third film hoping they can edit together all three movies and have it be one long story for like a extended version of this movie or something.
They said they are going to do that
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 Well they fucking better.
Thank you for the review. I have been wondering where this story would go because I liked the old one but it sounds like it suffers from bad writing and unoriginal ideas
Absolutely
I cannot stand this immediate trilogy situation with horror movies anymore. It's so unnecessary. Even if a director has a 3 movie plan, whatever happened to the element of surprise? I was so annoyed when they announced Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends together (and who was signed to both films), because it immediately told me who I didn't need to worry about dying and took every ounce of tension out of the experience. For them to continue it with The Exorcist and now The Strangers... Hollywood is not listening to what audiences actually want and I'm over it.
It just had the biggest opening weekend for a horror movie this year…
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 People were interested, that makes sense, but that doesn't really mean anything if the majority of reviews coming from it are negative.
Wait, so they're Wrong Turning it? Oh my lord, no.
Ha
thank you for saving me $40 😂
Haha
$40?! I saw it for $13.05 after tax last night. (still a total waste of time and money though)
@@LifeAfterDeathTube i'm including my ticket, my husband's ticket, & popcorn/drinks in that total
@@jennifers7134 gotcha. yeah definitely wait till this hits streaming!
I'm gonna say it. Prey at night is a great movie and the best in the franchise.
I agree
If you haven't seen it. Go into it blind and I cant say why. But based on some things said...Devil's Path (2018)
great movie with a "great" payoff
Hmm
This is really frustrating because they couldve done something really good with the third one. I genuinely dont understand why they would remake this pretty much down to the T. Pretty disappointed since I looove the first one and love home invasion horror/thrillers. Have you seen Kidnapped? Its mexican horror - also Under the Rose is FANTASTIC
I don’t think so
It was really bad lol saw it today. The whole motorbike and going to town and then him coming back with the weird close up of his face and the gross burger scene.. it was like everyone working on this movie didn’t care at all… but like other diehard horror fans I will still watch the sequels haha
Yeah. We must see 2…
not sure what the point of this film was, it was literally a remake, they could've just started at 2. also pretty crazy we got 3 strangers movies and we still know nothing about the strangers lol
If we learn anything about them people will bitch. Guaranteed
I've not seen any promo for this at all oveer here. if I smoke a joint my main danger is falling over the coffee table, let alonr the strangers.
I’ve seen quite a bit of promotion
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 not over here. there is 5 showings in my local theatre today.
These writers think we're stupid.
I will not be wasting my time on "films" that should not be made.
This was a two movie franchise. They're dragging it out now.
Wasting my damn money and time.
It was an hour and a half too long.
Wait, did you see it or not?
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 saw it Thursday night.
Should I be Shocked they ruined a Franchise Jay
Oh damm if even you guys didn't like it I feel like this is gonna be a Hellboy reboot situation where I'm the only one who likes it 😅
Haha
When I saw the trailer and cast I knew this was going to bad.. I hoped that I would be wrong but it makes me so upset that it was exactly what I thought it would be because I love the original and prey at night! I was hoping we could get a sequel for prey at night but now we got this shitty trilogy! If they make their money back that is
See, I hated the set up of the original movie, even if I like the original movie, the setup of them breaking up was annoying
Everyone is going to have different things that work for them
this movie completely sucked! can't wait for the next two.
Hahaha
I don't care at the end of the day i will love it
Studios would be very happy if you were representative of their entire audience
Madelaine petsch is the executive producer on riverdale she was a lesbian boy couldn't have her.
Whatever the fuck this means
I’m vegetarian and I don’t approve how they treat them in this haha.
Ha
To answer your question about the bottle, it's an asthma spacer. It lets you inhale the steroids over time instead of in one short burst e.g., for kids who struggle with the timing, or people who have diminished lung capacity/are too far into an asthma attack to take a deep, sharp breath.
And he accurately does it in this film?
No offense..
I’m offended! 😉
This was terrible. It was the same movie,but ten times worse.
Yeah
the most pointless remake ever and is it me or is the whole film so DARK you can hardly see anything? What is this cinematography?
It’s dark
A boring spoiler: what a shock!
😳
