The Strangers: Chapter 1 (2024)

The Strangers: Chapter 1

• Yep, this was about what I thought it was gonna be. A very cheap looking remake of a movie that doesn’t need a remake. Not that the first Strangers was anything great, but still. The first one is a cult classic and doesn’t need to be touched. Yet they did it anyway, and even worse, it’s supposed to be a trilogy. Hopefully the next couple ones pick up the pace cause this one was awful. It’s one of the few times where I actively root for the deaths of the protagonists. They were stupid and idiotic. All the characters were. The masked trio didn’t quite have the same menacing presence that the original ones did. The story was basically the exact same as the original movie, although there were a couple new little elements. But not enough to make it a good movie. It was boring, anticlimactic, and predictable. No more needs to be said. I would not recommend this film, nor do I want to watch it again.
