My Thoughts on The Strangers (2008): I Loved It. I’m Checking the Locks.

<p>I finally watched The Strangers (2008), and OH BOY. Great movie. Terrible for sleep.</p><p><br></p><p>Some movies spend years on your watchlist. This one finally made it onto my screen during work travel—and immediately made a quiet evening feel considerably less relaxing.</p><p><br></p><p>Join Jim for a spoiler-lite review of Bryan Bertino’s home-invasion horror thriller starring Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman. I cover the terrifying premise, skillful direction, excellent performances, and how this film gets so much mileage out of so little. Plus: five reasons to watch, three reasons to pass, and whether I’m ready for more films in the series.</p><p><br></p><p>Expect enthusiasm, nervous laughter, and newfound appreciation for a properly locked door. No major plot reveals or ending spoilers.</p><p><br></p><p>Have you seen The Strangers? Did it leave you checking the locks, or did the scares fall flat?
