This movie was not scary and not very good. I give in -5 stars. Save your money. If you want to watch it wait for cable.

Scary in parts but based on what true event??
Added 10/2/2009
I found this movie to be scary in some parts and dragging in others. It was a little silly in that the main character has a shotgun and of course doesn't use it to his advantage. What I don't understand is that this movie claims to be based on real events. Well I did some research after seeing the movie and can't find anything about this occurrence. What true event is the movie based on? If someone knows, please enlighten us.

Scary because it can happen
Added 7/13/2009
This movie is scary because this can happen. Just the thought of someone crazy trying this out because the saw it on the movie was enough for me to really consider buying a firearm. The story this movie is based off of is pretty disturbing.

What a waste!.
Added 2/6/2009
The Strangers starring Scot Speedman and Liv Tyler was a total borefest. This was quite a dull experience, the first half where absolutely nothing happens almost had me pressing the fast forward button but somehow I didn't and just wanted to see if the rest of the film was going to get better but of course it didn't. The director spends too much time getting us to like the couple in the movie, but honestly does a terrible job. The opening sets the stage for what might look like a terrific movie. A 911 call saying "there is blood everywhere". Really? After seeing the movie I expect to only see blood in two places, not exactly everywhere.
The movie has no plot and is completely hard to get involved with any of the characters since most of the time they just end up staring into space, or just wondering off late at night leaving the other person alone and defenseless. The story begins by developing the relationship between it's two stars, then separating them and introducing the terror. This worked at first in it's ability to set up and keep the viewers in suspense. Unfortunately, after we have established what is taking place, the story seems to slow down and eventually fizzles out. The second half of the film is filled with horror movie cliché's and cheap scare tactics that fall flat on it's face, almost to the point of boredom. Don't bother with this film, if you want better suspense/horror flicks then check out Vacancy, Silence of The Lambs, Eden Lake or Funny Games (the original not the remake) instead. Any of those other enjoyable and creepy films would be a hell of alot better then wasting your time with this.

Leave your lights on....
Added 11/15/2009
"Based on true events", this film will keep you awake. There is nothing supernatural here...just a gruesome and taunting murder, and that is what is so scary about it. The masks were brilliant. I slept with the lights on for days.

Modern Horror Film in the Classic Style
Added 11/6/2009
The Strangers reminds me of the basic horror movie, and that's a good thing. Think of the original Halloween from 1979. Imagine 2 people intending to enjoy a romantic evening in a home alone, far from civilization in the countryside. Now add a marraige proposal gone wrong, and well, neighbors who would prefer you not be around. With the premise of a simple home, this film weaves in classic scary elements. It appears to sample other horror movies, including the "closet scene" from Friday the 13th (the original 1980 version), and elements of The Shining (also from 1980). There is a fair amount of blood and gore, but not what is commonly seen in most modern horror movies. Like the classic films, it has elements that makes you scream out to the characters in the movie. How anyone could possibly rate this a 1-star movie is beyond me. My young friend jumped on multiple occasions, so if you want to be scared, watch this film.
