    I and many others looked forward to this movie so much that I think I went in with such high hopes that it just fell flat for me..I enjoyed the use of the environment in the movie but I was really let down in the end..pity could have been a good one.

    And what was with the end when the girl is lying dead on the ground and the kids come to look and she jumps up and scares the shit out of them?!
    My thoughts exactly. I was utterly disappointed in this movie.

    Bought this on DVD and have watched it several times with friends who didn't see it in theaters. I love seeing how they'll react. So far only one of my friends hasn't liked it, everyone else thought it was scary or as one of my guys put it "unnerving."

    I really liked it. Heard alot of good things about and was not disappointed. They could have done a better job of defending themselves i guess but when your in that situation i bet its entirely different from sitting on your couch knowing all the facts.

    No doubt about it, but there were still plenty of instances when I thought, "The only reason these characters are total dumbasses is because the plot couldn't move forward properly without that."

    Pretty amusing how horror fans gripe about The Strangers being illogical and the characters being stupid.

    That's the think that sux about a movie like this...it doesn't hold up after a few more viewings..even though the 1st time was really cool.

    It wasn't promoted as camp, it was promoted as "Based on true events" (dun dun dun!). So yeah, I expected a little more.

    What does the movie using a gimmick and camp have to do with anything? The horror genre has never been known to have such things as "logic" or "common sense", both in campy and serious flicks alike.

    Yes, The Strangers did have characters making dumb decisions in it but it is certainly not the worst offender and doesn't change the fact that it was one of the better US horror movies to come out in awhile.

    If you read the original post, I said exactly that.

    Point of the topic was to have a little discussion beyond "Movie sucked" or "Movie ruled".

    I'm pretty sure he was just reitterating the thought snippy pants.

    Out of the people i have spoke to my mum and sister are the only ones that did not like it. I thought it would be right up their street aswell.

    I thought the strangers was a good,suspenseful movie...but it lacked substance.

    I met him, fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child, with this blank, pale, emotionless face and, the blackest eyes...the devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply...evil.
