    I think we might have watched different films. I wanted to like it, but the flaws were just too many. There were no stellar performances and I still don't get how anyone found it really scary. To each his own, though. :bigthumbup:

    Come on guy, this isn't Pacino as Michael Corleone or DeNiro as Travis Bickle or even Gunnar Hansen as Leatherface.

    It's a tall guy in a mask who tilts his head a couple times at the right part. He did a fine job for what he was supposed to do, but he didn't make or break the film. And chances are there were hundreds of actors out there who could have done what he did and the film likely would have been just as good.
    Have to disagree with you there. There's been a few guys play the role of Michael Myers since the first one and they've ALL sucked. He did make or break the film.

    Just when I was starting to like you. Never said it was, guy or that anyone was Oscar worthy. I happened to like their performances, as stoic as they may have been to you. Like you said to each their own.

    I think Carpenter was the biggest difference. I think you are reaching a bit to try and justify the point you attempted to make. The men who played Michael Myers did not make or break any of the Halloween movies. That had more to do with the scripts and various directors, imho.

    Each film after the first (the second one was pretty good, too) were just not good films. If Moran had played Michael in all of them, would they suddenly have been good? I think not.

    I bet you feel Boris Karloff could have been replaced as Frankenstein or Howard Sherman's role as Bub could have been done by anyone else with zombie make-up on.

    I'm not comparring the 3 in The Strangers to them of course, but the point that I was trying to make is that I believe the young girl and the potato sack headed guy brought something unique to the film, as miniscule as it may be...and I liked it.

    Now we'll have no more outta Franco America or Chef Boyardee or whatever that name is

    jk welcome to the board

    I thought Nick Castle portrayed "The Shape." The way I remember it, Castle was asking Carpenter for 'cues' and 'motivation' about how he should portray his character...and Carpenter said..."just walk man."

    heh, if they brought anything I found it incredibly minuscule. But you are entitled to your opinion and I think we can agree to disagree on that.

    Went to this Wednesday night. Went with two girls and they screamed/jumped at every "scare". God, I love going to horror movies with females.

    Before the movie was almost over, some girl all curled up in her seat in front of us was like "THIS IS A TRUE STORY?!??!".

    Overall, A good film. The use of the "loud noises" were overdone, but the movie was pretty sweet.

    If I were one of the two people, I would have hid somewhere GOOD inside the house, where I couldn't be found. Or take off running DEEP into the woods. Not just hide down like the guy did.

    The movie's atmosphere was pretty creepy. There's TONS of houses like that in my state, just sitting there, alone, on the side of the road, or elsewhere. So this shit could happen anywhere.

    A thing I loved about the movie was that The 'Strangers' weren't really explained and we didn't know why they did what they did. ABOUT TIME we get some bad ass killers with no explanation why they do it. Let's just hope we don't get a prequel about these three growing up!

    A thing i HATED about the movie? MISSING SCENE!!!! I won't spoil, but in the Yellow-Band trailer (And I think one of the movie posters) someone (won't say) is shown crawling on the floor. WE DON'T SEE THIS!!!! I was waiting to see this scene! Because it seemed sweet! But sadly, we didn't get it!

    SPOILER:

    The ending was sweet too! No, not the scream. The part where they get away.

    "Why are you doing this to us?"

    "Because you were home."

    LOVE THAT LINE.

    Me too. Usually I can't predict my own ratings, but I could tell from the trailers that this would be a 7 :nod:
