I was so excited for this I think standalone it's good but as there's a original it's nowhere near as good and your right the scary part is the tension and build up and mind games this one's not anywhere near as good for that
Yes, if this wasn't titled The Strangers I think this would've been fine...
Yeah I'm not sure about checking this one out because i love the first Strangers movie and i haven't even seen the sequel The Strangers Prey at Night because it looked very generic to me but maybe I'll watch the sequel someday because i do hear it's a lot of fun and from what I'm seeing either people really don't like this Strangers movie or they are very mixed on this movie
I would say this one is in between the original and Prey at Night, but I haven't seen Prey at Night since its release so... I might feel diferently about it now...
Youre not missing anything. A lot of people love it, but it takes away everything that made the strangers THE STRANGERS, minus the strangers themselves, of course. The original movie had a very unique atmosphere and vibe for the time, but i felt like prey at night they could have replaced the strangers with any generic slasher villains and the movie would be pretty much unchanged. If you like the strangers, def check out prey at night if you can watch it for free, just for the hell of it. But it is very generic and if already it looks unappealing to you i doubt youll be pleasantly surprised when you watch it. I thought it was actually quite boring and had NO atmosphere, which is what made the original so great. As for chapter 1, i have low expectations from the director alone. Hes more of a b grade action thriller director with little expertise when it comes to horror, and he seems to be the wrong person for this franchise. Would much rather it went to a horror vet or a new and upcoming horror director, but really i just feel like i didnt need any other films in this series. The first was a great standalone. I hate this trend on expanding movies just because they were popular.
U should there's a part in the film that is funny like a golf club hit out of nowhere. 🤣👍
@@Allgloss312 Thanks for the comment. I have seen Prey at Night, I was just saying in my previous answer that I didn't rewatch it before watching Chapter 1. And what you felt about Prey at Night is what I feel about Chapter 1 - the plot could happen with any other slasher villain (even though it does follow a lot of the same beats as the original film), it lacks the tension that makes the original film so great!
@@christopherloyd2512 Are you talking about Prey at Night or Chapter 1? xD
Just watched it. I wish I waited for streaming. I wasn't expecting it to be a straight remake.
It’s not, it’s a prequel
@@daytonsouthall1137 Did you watch it? It has all the same plot beats as the 2008 film.
It’s not a remake. It’s a continuation, soft reboot
I was hoping for a straight remake - I wanted a few changes just not the complete vibe of the film...
@@daytonsouthall1137i highly doubt its a prequel if the couple is driving a smart car and renting an airbnb. Sure, airbnb was founded in 2008 so its possible but if it is a prequel, id say its pretty bad writing and it would have been a better idea if they dated the film a little more by not having the smart car or airbnb, things that may have existed but were not ubiquitous with the era in a pop culture sense. It would make more sense for the time period to omit the smart car, have older phone models, and have them, idk, staying at one of their aunts house or something instead of the airbnb. If youre doing a movie that takes place 16 years in the past, its important you use cultural and technological signifiers to communicate that to the audience and establish the time period effectively
I'm just going to "let them cook"... The story is not complete. That is the way i look at this film as an incomplete story where we haven't seen the full picture yet. Chapter 1 got me excited for Chapter 2, which looks to be set at a hospital... ✌️😶 oh, I'm one of those people who prefer Prey at Night over the original film!!!
oh, really? Maybe that's why you're more hopeful for this trilogy than I am xD
You very very nice. I loved the original, like Prey at Night alot. I was annoyed by this one. Besides being completely unoriginal--it was a mash up of 1 and 2, the characters were so stupid I started rooting for the killers. In the other two movies the protagonists did their best to try to survive. In this one it appeared that they felt they need to help the strangers kill them. I'll still see the ones that are upcoming--because im a glutton for punishment--but I'm not optimistic.
Thanks :) I completely agree with you, the characters were so dumb. And yeah, I will definitely still watch the next movies, but I'm hopeful that those will be better since they'll have to make a completely new story...
