Decade later sequels can be a scary thing, some can be awful(Think Sin City, okay it only 9 years) but The Strangers is one that works. Sure most are hating on it, but it is just as creepy as the original. The first is highly suspenseful and gave legit fears, cause unlike zombies, this shit could happen anyday. This one is more of a slasher film, with a killer soundtrack......okay, i'll see myself out. This is the best theatrical slasher in a long time, and unlike the first, which is great, this one is kinda fun. It helps with the colors and music, but you also connect more with the two leads. The gore is plenty, and it is a fast paced film. Horror fans, slasher fans, whatevs, should dig this, I had a blast with it. I'd take a dumb slasher like this over a boring piece of shit like the Phantom Thread anyday. Actually, hold up, the film isn't even dumb, it has heart behind it, plus there is character backstory on display to give it extra meat. It isn't as good as the original, but it is a fun sequel, all i wanted from it!
