Clip: Liv Tyler is Terrified in The Strangers
Horror Movie News, The Strangers (2008) Movie — By Nix on May 6, 2008
Supposedly based on a true story, “The Strangers” stars Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman as a couple that is seemingly randomly selected to be victimized by a small group of strangers wearing funky masks, played by Kip Weeks and Gemma Ward, and one more would-be killer. Here’s a clip from the movie that was released on Myspace. The film was written and directed by first-timer Bryan Bertino, a former actor and, according to IMDB.com, gaffer. Wow, that’s some promotion there, Bryan.
After returning from a wedding reception, a couple staying in an isolated vacation house receive a knock on the door in the mid-hours of the night. What ensues is a violent invasion by three strangers, their faces hidden behind masks. The couple find themselves in a violent struggle, in which they go beyond what either of them thought capable in order to survive.

I’ve lived in my house for 24 years and have never locked my doors. After seeing this movie, I’m locking up especially at night. I, too, am looking for information on where this tragedy happened. Thanks for the info Alison.
I just wanted to say i thought this movie was awesome! once the drama started my knees were shaking the hole time and my heart raced!!!! Livs acting i thought was really good because she made me believe her and made me scared the effects were good and the man who played james i thought they made his character well because he seemed the typical man when ” theres nothing in the house” ” nothing can hurt us” i loved it!!!
i like the movie … although it made no sense at times …i mean anyone in there right mind would of gottin th hell outta there as soon as they figured out these ppl where in there house i think…..and did the gurl live are die at the end ?? does any one know the REAL EVEDNTS that actually took place. i know it was said to be based on true events from the mansions r whatever and cabin 28 ….. but why was so much added to it ??? well anyway it was good but just kinda dumb at times….i know im lookin my doors r im not going to be home…why r u doing this ….cuz u where home …. lol….
This was the most tedious movie… it tried to be so many other movies… the wobbly camera of Blair Witch, some Friday the 13th, some Silence of the Lambs… totally fell short. Liv Tyler was so obnoxious that I couldn’t wait for her to get killed… wish it was a lot earlier in the movie. Put some shoes on… how about take the dead friend’s jeep… stay out of the house altogether… or just start running… grow a pair and wise up.
Unfortunately, I was not impress with this movie. There is a difference between scare, suspense and terror/horror and just killing for no reason. In this movie has suspense moments which was spooky. However, there were sooo many dumb moves that it may it unrealistic to me and therefore I couldn’t enjoy the movie without saying “oh, com’on” Here are a few:
1) A knock a the door 4am in the morning in the middle of no where. Will you open the door without asking who is it? NO!
2) You cannot see the woman’s face at the door at 4am because the patio light is out so you don’t try to see who she is by all means necessary.
3) He goes, should I go check on her. Ah…NOT!
4) Then later he goes to the store and leaves her by herself. Com’on. You just had a stranger knock on your door for no reason.
5) She calls to tell the guy the woman showed up again, but he denies if it was even her and belittles her concerns that no one has entered the house.
6) They take forever to scope out the house to prove “no ones” there. Com’on, we are in the middle of no where.
It felt like I was watching an old Jason movie in the 80s when the directors and producers didn’t no better on writing a scary movie. If you really want to see something similar but better than Th Strangers, watch Vacancy.
this movie was the scariest movie that me and my daughter has ever watched.we have seen alot of real scary movies but this one was the scariest one yet.i don’t care what anyone says about this movie.turn out all of your lights and put this movie in your dvd player and try to watch it by yourself or with someone and see if it won’t scare the you know what out of you.
One word to describe this movie…..LAME!!!! I mean come on I think the previews showed more suspense and action the the entire movie itself. I like scary movies and this is by far the most dissapointing one.
