The Strangers

[Invisible Man]

Lock the doors. Assume you're safe.

The horrifying events that took place in the Hoyt family's vacation home at 1801 Clark Road on February 11, 2005, are still not entirely known.

Champagne. Rose petals. Candlelight. It was supposed to be a night of celebration for Kristen McKay (Liv Tyler) and James Hoyt (Scott Speedman). But after leaving a friend's wedding reception and returning to the house, everything had collapsed for the happy couple.

Then came a 4 a.m. knock on the door and a haunting voice. Is Tamara here?

Writer/director Bryan Bertino explores our most universal fears in The Strangers, a terrifying suspense thriller about a couple whose remote getaway becomes a place of terror when masked strangers invade. The confrontation forces Kristen and James to go far beyond what they thought themselves capable of if they hope to survive.

This is a good scare movie in the sense that if you hate killers in masks that creep up on you, then you would be watching through your fingers half the time. The downside though is that it just scares you...that's all. After all the scaring is said and done, we were left thinking, "That's it?!?" It does draw you in and I had to double-check all our doors and windows even if we live in just an apartment. I think the added "scare value" comes from the fact that it was inspired by true events. Man, there are some sick people out there! A good rained-in or snowed-in movie when you have someone to cuddle up with.

I say it's a 3 out of 5.

I have to agree this movie had a lot of scare but no real plot. It wasn't until I got home and crawled into bed that I remembered it was based on a true story. Then I got up and checked all the doors and windows. I even jumped at my own reflection in the mirror.
