The Strangers

At first I want to tell you that trailers are not allways a good thing.
So added to that, I don't watch any trailers unless the title and
pictures really don't speak to me.

So today 'The Strangers' was on my horrorlist.:

- First thought -
"Oh shit not another haunted house movie"


- Actual movie -
Yes! Not haunted!... but oh shit these kids must be bored!   
That instantly reminded me of 'Funny Games U.S.'
I definatly like movies that are more likely to actually happen,
so 'The Strangers' actually being inspired (not based!) on facts
made that extra nice.

The movie begins as a couple is getting back from a wedding and being on
the way to their holiday home. This place is in the middle of nowhere (no
shit!) and will soon be the perfect place for 3 strangers to invade their lives.

That's actually about the shortest description I can give you without
spoiling. I think the movie has a good story and nice visuals, the acting
is good.
You can scare someone by being unpredictable and they definatly achieved
that in the beginning. But after a while it's too much of the same.
The masks are an absolute add to the dark and scary mood.
Oh! And If you like to yell at the actors while watching a horror, you're good here.
They make stupid decisions wich makes you want to hit them over the head.
But ofcourse that's the whole point of giving opportunity to the bad guys.
In the end I was a bit dissapoited but I can only hope you won't agree.
