    Saw this movie tonight in LA. Amazing.

    by havokx13x

    I know a lot of people are saying negative things about this movie but it truly is intense and disturbing. Especially the last couple of minutes... don't worry this isn't a spoiler I'm not giving anything away. Very good flick. The pop up scares got to me, but the long drawn out tension building scenes got me even more. There is this one scene that made my heart beat so fast I felt like I was in the movie. I think when movies are close to reality they freak me out more than the gore ****that's overloading Hollywood these days.

    I truly enjoyed this movie and recommend to all horror fans.

    A scarey movie classic

    by michy22

    I have been watching scary movies since I was 6. Although some of them come close,this one was probably the scariest so far. I sat in the thearter in a constant state of anxiety ,covering my eyes because I was to afraid to look. The fact that it might have truly happened heightend the movie experience. I wont let my children see it because now I am afraid to be alone at night. If you love old time movies like halloween go see it you wont be disappointed

    The Strangers....VERY WORTH seeing!!!

    by

    I thought this movie was going to be kind of bad and disappointing...like Prom Night (had a good trailer but the overall movie wasn't that great). The more I thought about going to go see this movie the more I started to second guess myself if it would be worth it. I'm proud to say, that my money was not wasted ($9.00 at my theatre).

    The Strangers is really good movie and I can't wait for the DVD to come out because I will be purchasing it. At first, the movie seemed like it was going to be kind of cheesy, but once the action starts, there's not a single dull moment. The acting was excellent, the antagonist was VERY scary, and the movie seemed like it REALLY could happen to someone (I think this is what people will think about for a while after seeing it).

    I don't recommend young children under 14 should see this, as it may just be a bit too must for them to handle. For everyone else, you REALLY should go see this movie, its great!!!
