This movie is basically what happens when you read the handbook of "How to remake a movie with little to no effort". It's like the writers were trying to copy someone's homework but had dyslexia and still got the answers wrong. The movie was so unbearable that my wife and I had to watch it over two days bc we needed a break in between. Every horror trope you can think of happens in it. This film is what movies like Scary Movies make fun of. The original Strangers was incredible, the second was a great follow up. This one is hot garbage. I pray the writers read this review and quit their jobs. Please hire an entirely new crew for the other two films if they even get released at this point.

I was super excited to see this movie as I loved the original and the trailers looked like it kept the creepy vibes of the original. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. I found the movie to be full of the cliche tacky things that a lot of scary movies have nowadays. For example, making a ton of unnecessary noise when you are hiding and trying to be quiet, using lights and lighters in dark spaces when you are trying to hide, yelling each others names as you run through the forest, just unnecessary and unrealistic things that nobody would do in real life and make you not care what happens to the protagonists. I felt like a number of things that happened in the movie just weren't nearly as effective as the original for that reason. Also, one of the reasons I loved the original was because you know absolutely nothing about the killers, where they come from, or what they are about. In this film, the entire town is full of creeps and it just really took away from the eeriness.

There is 2 more of these, Yikes.

I'm not getting too much into this but it's a bit of a waste and a massive let down.

The movie sees a couple Maya and I think it was Ryan who break down and have to stay in a rental house. Masked creeps lurk the property and begin a vicious hunt and toy with the couple.

The movie I thought was a prequel is not, it seems to be a reboot and there is no need, using scenes exactly from the original just not executed as well.

I just don't get why they made the movie with 2 main characters that have no background to draw us in, the chemistry was fine but compared to the original 2 it seems less organic with the no origin route.

"Because we can" is a lame excuse, it gives no drive for me, and the original let this work because it was a movie that filled me with fear, while this was just loaded with jump-scares and I'm sick to death of horrors solely relying on that.

Silly movie, waste of time, watch the original instead because this is a generous 4/10

Terrible movie. I have no idea how these other reviews are giving it anything higher than a 3. It looked like that commercial where everyone is running from that masked killer and instead of getting into the running car, they go to the barn filled with killing weapons to hide. This movie stunk so bad. I will admit I didn't see the first two so maybe that's why I didn't get it and I didn't like it at all but as far as believability and storyline, plot, sensibility, it failed all the way around. Give me that hour and half of my life back. If they can make money off this crap I should make a movie as well.

In my opinion, this was some pretty sloppy work. The kills and the cinematography were both just eh. The movie was so dragged out that I could cut the parts that weren't important, and the movie wouldn't even be an hour long. So many stupid mistakes too. Yeah, let's get high so your boyfriend thinks you're hallucinating. Let's play the piano, while a record is on, while you're on FaceTime at full volume for the dead silence outside the house, so everyone in the whole state of Oregon hears you. I think I'll wait till Chapter 2, and Chapter 3 comes out to rent on my TV, because that was a waste of my afternoon....
