Total waste of time. Pointless and poor. Don't even try to understand it. There's no way.

I had a free pass to see this movie and I still walked out of the theater. Don't go see it. Bad acting. Bad writing. Bad direction. Just an awful movie and I love horror movies!

Nothing happens, a complete waste of time. If you are scared by this you are a wimp and shouldn't vote on horror reviews.

I never felt so lousy after leaving a movie. The production isn't bad, the acting and the suspense are above average for this kind of movie. However, it is unrelenting and ultimately pointless. Uses the same horror techniques to build I never felt so lousy after leaving a movie. The production isn't bad, the acting and the suspense are above average for this kind of movie. However, it is unrelenting and ultimately pointless. Uses the same horror techniques to build up suspense over and over, so even though the movie is relatively short it feels drawn out and tedious. Plus you know whats going to happen at every turn. I can't recommend this movie to anyone unless you feel like being mentally abused.… Expand

Don't bother ever watching this snooze-fest bore of a film. Halfway through the film in the theater I was dozing off.

I am a TRUE Horor movie fan and I wonder where have the GOOD HOROR movies gone? This movie takes all this time to kill 2 people?!

Craft? so what......? mpvies are art, like it or not, and will be judged accordingly.... If you listen to a great singer singing about infanticide and incest with glee, are they judged on their singing ability? OR their content - lyrically Craft? so what......? mpvies are art, like it or not, and will be judged accordingly.... If you listen to a great singer singing about infanticide and incest with glee, are they judged on their singing ability? OR their content - lyrically and in content of character? the latter. End of story. Plenty of ppl can sing, and anyone can point a camera and say 'action'..... point is, can you produce something worthwhile, relevant, original? answer here = Nope. Thus the strangers takes a 'true story / real events" premise and surmises, at great insult to all living relatives and the victims themselves, that the three masks found belonged to heartless, or black-hearted rather, sadistic murderers that like to psychologically torture their victims before they kill them hours later etc etc..... when there is no proof or reason for this WHATSOEVER.... Oh and could the two of you poosibly split up unnecessarily any more than you did in this clechefest? Um, sorry, but that is BS and represents the kind of heartless, insulting, sadistic behaviour literally, that they were ironically supposed to be commenting on within the movie figuratively.... How appalling and irresponsible. The likely scenario is that the 3 masks simply belonged to the three victims, that they were a love triangle or similar and something passionate and regrettable and tragic happened. So Bryan Bertino comes along and instead of making what he thought he had - some sort of sensational, original, ground-breaker like the Last House on the Left (also fairly unnecessary - and I say that as a horror afficionado who disagrees that torture porn and horror are interchangeable), Bryan has just insulted the dead, the living and anyone dumb enough to hand over cash for this pointless, self-obsessed, patronising, superfluous, waste of space, time and money. The absolutely epitome of style over substance, sprinkled in pointless sadism.... If I was a serial killer, I would masturbate in front of this film.... why not? Seems perfect...... A little bit of snuff for the masses eh Bryan? Shame on you f***ing idiots. You have damned a generation with your propoganda and BS. Have a frikkin' heart FGS - this movie achieves precisely NOTHING. Also many of the reviewers above are clearly not well-versed in horror, as the movie was predictable, crammed with cliche and an empty, vacuous exercise in the monotony of unceasing disrespect and cynicism..... NOT - "invested brilliantly in silence"... lol... that's the philosophical semantics of a frikkin' amateur. Change your profession or narrow your movie genres for review - you're not up to it sonny.... Time to move on chump.… Expand

What a terrible movie and a waste of 1.5 hours.

The characters made totally illogical choices and the stalkers were apparently omniscient because they knew exactly where the characters were at all times. The story is so contrived that I'm amazed people call this "suspenseful" or "scary". It's just a long drawn out build up for some torture porn at the end. It is also an outrage that the movie is supposedly based on actual events. In other words, hollywood is trying to make money off of some tragic murder case. The good news is, the movie flopped so badly, I'm not sure we have to worry about anything else from this "creative team".… Expand
