The first one was one of the best horrors around.
In an era of demonic possessions, creepy dolls, and supernatural killer clowns, there's something that's increasingly disturbing about Bryan Bertino's home invasion horror, The Strangers.
In case you haven't seen that unnerving film, a young couple is terrorised by three masked assailants over the course of an evening at a remote summer home. There's no motive, no reason and very little in the way of backstory given.
Just like the mindset of the three killers, the film is a nihilistic and terrifying pit of despair. We highly recommend it because it's pure terror that slowly builds towards its grisly finale.
Without giving too much away, there was a very ominous line at the end of that film and in Strangers: Prey at Night, horror fans are going to be reintroduced to the trio of Dollface, Pin-Up Girl, and the Man in the Mask.
Regarding the plot, we're told that "A family’s road trip takes a dangerous turn when they arrive at a secluded mobile home park to stay with some relatives and find it mysteriously deserted. Under the cover of darkness, three masked psychopaths pay them a visit to test the family’s every limit as they struggle to survive.”
Mad Men fans will be pleased to see Christina Hendricks feature in the new film and she's joined by Bailee Madison, Lewis Pullman and Martin Henderson.
If the sequel is half as unsettling as the original, it's definitely going to be worth a trip to the cinema.
At present, Strangers: Prey at Night is set for release on March 9, 2018
