The Strangers

( 2008 )

****

“The Strangers” is about a couple that one night, decided to go to a log cabin.  Unfortunetly, that night is the night some ’strangers’ decided to terrorize the couple all night.  This movie stars Liv Tyler, (Lord of the Rings) and Scott Speedman.

Before going to see this movie, I asked myself a few questions.  Here is what I came up with,

will this be as thrilling as a roller coaster? (exciting but frightening at the same time.  Thrills never stopping until the ride is over.)

The answer to that is, yes in my opinion.  I knew the film was going to be scary.  I’ve read some reviews beforehand, which got me excited.  Honestly, through the whole movie, I was on the edge of my seat, waiting for something bad to happen.

Will I enjoy this movie although it’s a horror movie?

The answer to that is, yes as well.  I am known to not like horror movies, just because of so much gore.  Gore to me, isn’t scary, its just gross.  There was little gore in this flick, but the thrills and jumps are enough to keep me satisfied.

Is it worthy enough to be called “horror”?

Like I said, a lot of people in society today look at horror as something with tons of blood and guts.  When I hear horror, I hear scary, and it was scary.  If a movie can make you jump enough, I consider it to be scary.  I ended up losing count to how many times I jumped.

How good was the acting? Was it believable?

I think the acting was very believable.  This movie had an amazing cast, and they did their job right.  I got into the movie pretty fast.

Would I want to see it again in theater, or wait for DVD, or would I never want to see it again?

Well, I probably wouldn’t see it again in theater.  Just because it didn’t get a full rating of five stars.  But I would be one of the first in lines to get it on DVD.

and the last question being, “Who do I reccomend it to?”  I would reccomend this to anyone looking for a movie that will give some good jumps here and there.  This movie would be the right choice to go to.  Peace out.
