This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
This was a horrible movie. The first one was night and day better. Why they continue to make such crap movies is beyond me. Who works on a movie like this then when finished and ready for release thinks it's good? Who is proud of a making crap like this?
The Strangers: Prey at Night is a color by numbers Slasher: minimal setup, fast paced Act II, Act III is executed cleanly. It is the horror film equivalent of a new look LA Rams screen pass, Goff to Gurley II, good for 9 yards. Early in the film there's an effective long shot panning slowly into a conversation in a gas station parking lot. Christina Hendricks delivers solid character work. At some point soon, we should begin appreciating the weird, post-Mad Men roles she's taken, and enhanced. There are some new takes on time honored/trodden Slasher tropes, making them just fresh enough to avoid the full ennui of the connoisseur.
I wasn't already expecting much from this sequel based on the reviews but I chose to give it a try. Well, it's not often that I get insulted by a movie, but this one is so bad it made me really upset. Seriously, I could barely watch it to the end. Unbeliavably stupid characters and killers, bad acting, no tension, not scary at all, awkward deaths, they couldn't even get me in a jumpscare once. So embarassing it doesn't even deserve a comparison with the first one.
Not good as the original but still decent.. I probably won't rewatch it. Maybe if it was on tv
