I am going to see this tonight and I am excited. I have read a lot of reviews and they are pretty mixed. From what I am hearing this is my type of horror movie. Stalking and suspense, in the vein of the original Halloween. Not much gore and the best thing of all is

<spoiler>











































there is no real motive for the killings, no bizarre plot twists or overly thought out, forced endings. Sometimes people are just psycho for the sake of being psycho! I like that.

Ginsu Victim:
That wasn't a spoiler.

That's my kind of movie. I hate when everything is explained. I love psychos without any motives. That's the scariest situation. I don't want to identify with the killers, I want to be scared of them!

Movies like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (the original title had "chain" and "saw" seperate), The Devil's Rejects, and Wolf Creek are my kinds of movies.

Don't tell me WHY the bogeyman IS the bogeyman. Just tell me where to hide!

AtomSmasher:
I recently saw the movie "Them" which looks to be very similar to The Strangers except it got better reviews, and it has completely turned me off of wanting to see The Strangers.  It was a completely generic, by the numbers, horror movie that I might of considered good if it was the first horror movie I ever saw, but I knew exactly what was coming before it happened and with characters who were constantly making stupid decisions, it just made me not like that movie at all.  Hopefully The Strangers won't fall into the same problems, but since the storyline looks to be exactly the same and the reviews are not as good, I'm not very optimistic.

Ginsu Victim:
"Them" looked awful. This looks completely different. (And it's R...that seems to be rare anymore...)

You could be right, but from the previews of The Strangers it looks almost exactly the same.  I hope I'm wrong, but I'm going to wait until its a rental.
