The Strangers - Anyone seen it yet?

Thinking of going to see this tomorrow.

Has anyone seen it yet, and what do you think of it? It looks excellent from the adverts.

No spoilers please.

I was going to watch this last night as it looks right up my street. Watched Step Brothers instead though (very funny if you ignore the ridiculous situation!).

A girl at work has seen it and said "It's ****, it turns out to just be people in masks". I don't know what she was expecting and I don't think she "got" it either...

I watched it last night and thought it was really good.

Couldnt look through my windows for hours afterwards.

It's OK, nothing too special. Liv Tyler is good in it though and it's not cheesy at all.

It's awful. Makes little or no sense and is supposed to be based on a true story. It is, but very very loosely on a 1980's cabin murder.

Off to see it on "Orange Wednesday" - looked OK from the trails.
Not much else out there at the moment.

I wasn't that impressed with it, not enough Inbreds in it for my liking

Tense in places but still riddled with horror cliched mistakes
Lets split up riiiight :rolleyes:

It's alright, you get no more than you would expect from it.

Read the plot synopsis and it doesn't appear to be anything special.

It just seems to be a typical new age horror movie, that no doubt wont leave you with a warm fuzzy feeling at the end.

Going to see it on wednesday I think..

I wanted to watch Hellboy 2 being as it's 2-4-1 but nooo we have to go see Strangers... :/

BlackDragon · 7 Sep 2008 at 03:40

Any more people seen this?

Should be going to the cinema Monday and the gf wants to see it!

Noel Gallagher · 7 Sep 2008 at 11:22

I watched it on wednesday.

Was..meh

Well dumb, only goodthing was watching other people in cinerma screaming and such LOL because it wasnt even scary.

It's another rubbish hollywood rip-off!!
Watch the far better original film Ils (2006)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465203/

Better still I would recommend Leben der Anderen, Das (2006) aka The Lives Of Others, watched it the other night and was blown away!! Won Oscar. Another 57 wins & 22 nominations

Agreed with that it was ok at best

Watched it tonight, I thought it was brilliant, very jumpy indeed. I love this sort of film, and it really lived up to my expectations.

On another note, adverts for Saw V! Can't believe there is another one.

Murney · 8 Sep 2008 at 16:21

I thought it sucked to be fair. The GF was scared though.

Saw it this afternoon.

Advice: don't.
