The 31 Days of Halloween- Day 7

Contrary to a lot of recent horror movies, The Strangers is a pretty frightening movie! It is suspenseful and smart and the killers are regular everyday people who decide to randomly torment and kill a random couple. That’s it. No reasons. No elaborations. That’s it. And that is what makes it good. It is somewhat feasible.

The mood is dark throughout with the main couple (anchored by Liv Tyler) having some relationship trouble after Tyler turns down a wedding proposal from her boyfriend (who by the way is somewhat like a French style horror husband…by that I mean a weaker “softer” male type character, rather than a stand up guy). They go to a remote house in the woods and everyone knows what happens in remote houses in the woods…

The killers in this film wear very simple Halloween masks which make them seem even scarier then if they were all done up. There are a lot of creepy ‘peeping tom‘ style moments wear the killers are keeping a watchful eye on the helpless couple. If you haven’t seen this, then go get it. But be warned, you might be very uncomfortable trying to fall asleep tonight.

I think this flick deserves 4 slabs of cow.
