Amazingly boring, nonsensical, and pointless film. Most of the dialog consists of long pauses during which people just stare at each other like mannequins. There's barely any plot if it can be considered a plot at all.

And why would the girl notice the driver in the first place? Creepy, silent guys who can't say a word and follow people around aren't usually the ones who attract women. Where did he get all those super fighting skills anyway? They are so edited and ridiculous that it's not even like Gosling is doing anything.

I have no idea why people hold this garbage in such high regard. I gave it a 3 because at least Bryan Cranston is always a delight to hear and see.

Oh man, this film was unbelievable. It's like they took all the clichés of horror movies, put them together into a blender, and then threw them into a poorly conceived story in which the main characters are a bunch of hysterical morons. The sad thing is that they're not even stupid funny like in FRIDAY THE 13TH, where they're supposed to act idiotic so we cheer as they get disposed of. No, THE STRANGERS takes itself very seriously, supposedly mimicking a real-life situation, and yet we have things like victims splitting apart for no reason, girl twisting her ankle, the phone won't work, bad people with scary masks, a friend mistaken for a bad guy, jump scares, false jump scares, and the list goes on and on.

Non-existent soundtrack, random sound effects meant as cheap shocks, and worst of all, the movie has shaky camera for its entire run, as if a drunk chimpanzee filmed it. I almost vomited. Make sure you have Dramamine ready before watching this film - or better yet, don't watch it at all.

I gave it two stars because at one point I managed to get a glimpse of Liv Tyler's legs.
