The first instalment in a new Strangers trilogy arrives in theaters this weekend, and the reviews have been pretty merciless so far, with one critic going so far as to call the home invasion slasher "one of the worst" horror films they've ever seen.

The Strangers trilogy will be a remake of the original movie, providing a similar experience but with updates and changes for fans.

The focus of the trilogy will be on the main character, Madelaine Petsch, and how the terrifying events affect her, ultimately answering questions from the original film.

Over fifteen years after the release of Bryan Bertino's home invasion film, Lionsgate has opted to take the concept of The Strangers and adapt it into a trilogy. The Strangers: Chapter 1 is set to release on May 17, 2024, and stars Riverdale's Madelaine Petsch, whose character becomes the target of three masked strangers during a stay at a secluded Airbnb. The movie will serve as a remake of Bertino's original concept and be unaffiliated with Johannes Roberts's sequel, The Strangers: Prey at Night.
