Best horror film in a long time, 9 June 2008
10/10
Author: smartmatt92-1 from United States

"The Strangers" is a terrific horror film. Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman are both excellent in their roles as Kristen and James, the doomed couple who is forced to endure a night of terror when a trio of masked strangers begin stalking and terrorizing the two of them. The film is the scariest horror film to hit theaters since 2006's "The Descent". What makes it so scary is that this situation can literally happen to anyone, and whats even scarier is that it does happy to people all the time. If you're a horror fan, definitely go see it. It's a very nice change of pace from the normal PG-13 garbage. And even if you aren't, still see it. You won't regret it.
