A 60 Minute RANT on 'The Strangers: Chapter 1' So You Don't Have to Watch it

[@StonyStark]

Drop a comment and a like my friends. Per usual this video was made using only notes from my full screening at the theater, and trailer / promo footage so apologies for small technical errors with the recap. Love you 3000 - Mr. Stark

[@tyrellesmith9265]

Asthma is a condition where your airway gets inflamed and and starts to fill with mucus. The inhaler has medicine that breaks up that mucus and helps the inflammation go down. That's why after a really bad asthma attack you usually do a lot of coughing and spitting up phlegm. Breathing into an empty bottle will do nothing to help with an asthma attack and would probably stress out your already constricted lungs.

[@Dovah_Slayer]

Yeah, they should've just had him have to scramble to dig out a backup inhaler out of a bag, which yes is noisy, so that serves the purpose of revealing his location like they want

[@_scaredycatt_]

It’s like they asked an AI generator to write to script of the original movie.

[@danmantena4676]

do not disrespect Claude AI like that!

[@Sweetbunniez]

@@danmantena4676he disrespected himself

[@aidanboyle9063]

The part with the water bottle was extra stupid since inhalers have actual medication in them that relax the bronchial tubes. Just breathing out of a water bottle wouldn't stop an asthma attack if his bronchial tubes are tightening---if anything it would worsen an attack since you're supposed to try and take long, deep breaths to calm down... as someone with asthma, that whole asthma bit is so dumb lol

[@tyrellesmith9265]

Stuff like that almost makes me believe the movie might be stupid on purpose because wtf lol. It's so dumb and asthma isn't a rare condition so it's not hard to research how it works and why hyperventilating into a bottle would do fuck all

[@Spicy.Literature]

So stupid they just took the concept of breathing into a paper bag to stop an anxiety attack and said yeah that’ll work for asthma

[@prettyevil6662000]

@@Spicy.Literature IIRC, the paper bag thing didn't help with panic attacks either. Why it's not done outside of movies. It, like with asthma, made it worse because stressing the breathing caused the panic to worsen. Basically there's no time when breathing into a random object will help you unless that object has meds in it.

[@Zelda00Gamer]

@@prettyevil6662000it would only help with hyperventilating. Not gonna google it to make sure my understanding is correct because I’m lazy but my understanding of hyperventilation is that you’re inhaling too much oxygen. You inhale more than you’re exhaling. So you use a bag (NOTHING PLASTIC) and the bag holds more carbon dioxide than oxygen and it helps level out your, well, levels in your lungs and helps you regulate. A plastic bottle isn’t permeable and would just cause you to suffocate… that’s why you can’t use a plastic bag. It must be permeable like paper. So technically it’s a life hack for hyperventilating but not all panic attacks cause that so. You are correct in that sense but wrong that no object can help with breathing

[@justinbrandt8415]

​@@Zelda00GamerThanks for commenting, you saved me from trying to explain how breathing into a paper bag helps with hyperventilating and not a panic attack.

Good to correct this for a sec. They said it in both movies before this. Someone knocks and asks for Tamara.

That's what I was thinking 🤔

[@ezre]

The first movie was so bad it’s not even funny

[@kainlives7958]

The first two movies were great, tf

[@levischorpioen]

@devstuff2576 That‘s why I actually think this film is sort of a success in an unintentional way. It reminds me of Psycho and its 1998 remake. The consensus is that the remake is inferior because it‘s identical, which, aside from being a contradiction, says a lot about how the era in which a film is released matters. If we see this new iteration of The Strangers as an experiment to see if the same story with the same approach would work for a new generation, then it‘s actually pretty genius, even if the answer to the question is no.

[@ricardoman8018]

Yes I seen it it's literally a copy and paste of the original but worse

[@spookyscaryskeleton5832]

i think if they would've added the twist that the boyfriend is apart of the whole thing with the strangers, then it could've been a redeemable film. and, it would explain how he knew where she was. if that makes sense, loved the video by the way!

[@kingofkards1110]

That's what I thought they were going until I saw it couldn't be him

[@cowgrll]

Asking “Is Tamara home?” is a line from the original movie and it’s the Strangers’ way of “casing” the house and seeing who their next victims will be. The line “Because you were here/home,” is also from the original movie and in a better film, it would be genuinely terrifying because it shows these killers have no motive other than to torture and kill these innocent people. For a movie called The Strangers: Chapter One, you’d think they’d explain or show how The Strangers came up with these iconic phrases, or how they suddenly decided to become bloodthirsty home invaders, but the filmmakers decided to make a lackluster and less effective remake of the original. Supposedly, the next two films are going to delve deeper into their origins. I think they were using this film as a reboot for younger audiences who weren’t familiar with the original, but they probably should’ve just made another sequel. Horror villain origin movies almost never work anyway. The unknown is scarier.

[@Stark-Cinema]

Yea I thought they were ripped right from the first movie but was approaching this review with less comparison than I should have

[@chaneh1887]

I think “because you were home “ hit different than “you were here” because “here” means that they’re targeting that house specifically instead of “home” means that they’re going home from home and attack people who answered

[@levischorpioen]

It‘s also a reference to Funny Games, of which The Strangers takes more than just a few inspirations from. Same with the weird cult-ish kids in white clothing.

[@prince_chavv02]

I've always been under the mindset that all movies don't have to be intelligent masterpieces of cinema, however, when it's clear that the movie is meant to be taken seriously while ALSO being seemingly created by a studio that doesn't actually give a fuck about the quality of said movie, all nitpicks and criticisms are fair game.

[@Stark-Cinema]

Well said. Welcome to the channel my legend 🥂

[@kalima2932]

I watched it yesterday going in blind with my bestie cuz Tarot was unavailable. The theater had like 10 people including us, 5 minutes in we already didn't like the protags, 15 minutes in we were hoping they would die already, and halfway in, everyone in the theater had or was yelling at the stupid decisions and insufferable whaling from the female protagonist. My friend and I predicted every jump scare and bad decision, I think we even predicted the ending. it was not a pleasant experience, but the audience was having fun making fun of it.

[@thewrongmelonfarmer3673]

Tarot? Man you were in between a rock and a hard place..

[@kalima2932]

@@thewrongmelonfarmer3673 hahahahahha yeah, I had already watched mistaGG’s review before I knew that Is the movie she originally wanted to watch. But I think we could have at least laughed at how bad tarot was, Strangers was just stressful.

[@danilutka]

That was my feeling. I was paid to see it and had no real knowledge of the franchise. I wanted them to die so we could leave so badly barely halfway into the movie. I know I will have to see the rest, and I'm not looking forward to it.

[@lopirobinson1991]

The problem with the prequel treatment is that in the original movie at the end the mother Stranger tells Dollface, "It'll be easier next time," as if it was their first time, repeat, their first time. Are these even the same Strangers from the other movies? They look totally different.

[@nickrh4261]

It's not a prequel though, this trilogy is its own thing separate from the previous two movies

[@shosc16]

Even then the first movie was awful. What does "It'll be easier next time." even mean? They had the entire film to kill the couple, from the very start, but chose not to - assuming that they liked to instil fear first. That line ruined the last film because if it was about 'ease', the film would've been over in 10 minutes.

[@nickrh4261]

@@shosc16 I interpreted it as dollface being new to their sick little game while the other two were more experienced (of all the strangers she's the one that gets the most screen time and the only one that talks so there has to be a reason for that). And that "ease" has nothing to do with the length of time they take to kill their victims. It has everything to do with their morality (dollface is the only one who takes the pamphlet from the Mormon boys implying shes at least a little bit religious and so is having issues reconciling her faith and her actions)

[@mikankitsune0440]

The Strangers is a horror franchise that was exceptionally unnecessary. The 2008 movie was best as a stand alone. It never needed more elaboration as it's singularity was what made it work. Similarly to The Purge series, it looses it's shock and scare value the longer we are within the world of the film.

[@that0n3guymobile58]

They actually already filmed chapter 2 and chapter 3 and are planning to release them in theaters fall of this year and early next year in theaters respectively, I’m hoping for the best because they’re supposed to take the franchise in a “new and unexpected direction” but man, this one was rough.

[@Spicy.Literature]

New and unexpected aka make a good movie 😭

[@r3dr4te963]

You know, I think if the movie use killers POV, it would be more interesting. Like how they sabotage the car, play hide and seek with the woman, stealthily hang that chicken above them, while filmed like documenter as "The Office" style. Then add dialogues/ conversation on their act, while commenting how stupid the couple acting. It would end as horror parody that more subdued than "Scary Movie". Maybe still bad, but at least it takes "New and Unexpected" direction

[@BAMFuPanda]

About the bloody door bedroom scene, I think the strangers wanted to play the long game with them, scare them a little but space it out, lull them into thinking it was just a weird night in a small weird town... but then they noticed how astronomically stupid the protagonists were and said "nah, we gotta speed this up and get to the actual hunt."

[@paintedexpressionssogriffi1322]

I think the sink jump scare was she hit the garbage disposal switch and it turned on and scared her - this has happened to me in real life, so I give it a pass. Rest of the movie though? Dumb decisions at every turn!!!

[@Stark-Cinema]

AHHH one of the only things I truly missed for whatever reason

I saw this movie the other night was blown away with how bad it was. I don’t have high standards, I find dumb movies really fun! But this one wanted us to take it seriously. I’ve seen interviews with the main actress calling her character SMART. She’s not. Also, I wish the boyfriend got to be suspicious for more than just the beginning. He was when the car was suddenly not working. Then….he gaslights her about her seeing someone? What? It would’ve been more interesting if he immediately believed her and we went from there! Ugh. I really hated it. Also thanks for mentioning the fridge thing. I thought it was such an obvious set up to get another person there. Why would you need to get the fridge fixed for ONE night. SO. DUMB.

[@jovanym2931]

The difference between the strangers fans and other slasher movies is the strangers fans like the realism and logic applied movies to make it more realistic which actually makes it more scarier. When you take away the realistic element and add all the bizarre scenes, you can’t stop there you have to go all the way then. Just like Halloween with Michael Myers. They have a supernatural element to it. But a lot of us want a realistic killer movie like the original Strangers.

[@Kalamityyy]

I'm disappointed to say, but I have high hopes that the lore will come to surface either in the second movie or the third! I'm giving the writers the benefit of the doubt!!! The first 35 minutes of this movie is bad, but the rest is honestly okay!

My rewrite would be heavier on the couple being strong and competent especially about the marriage piece that was underutilized. Fence in the cabin, so we can track where everyone is in the forest/surrounding area. Those fog shots were annoying. -- I'd introduce a new Stranger more akin to a leader that set them down this path. Maybe a prominent B-lister that killed the cabin owner and propped up this murder they've been planning for a while. Someone that can die in this trilogy, that teaches the Strangers that killing is just a matter of doing. And you can realistically harm, kill, or kidnap anyone at any time. --- Maybe an elderly fellow like Christopher Meloni that's not just scar tissue.

Unpopular opinion: If you have to make your protagonists that stupid that they made every possible mistake and more, you didn’t write effective villains. Now the villains worked weird in that they could just teleport and remain quiet in a house that made noise in the breeze. Scarecrow could just chill out behind Maya while she played piano and she never heard him walk up, sit in the chair or leave. Pin Up started acting whacky when the gun was on her and the truck only made noise when they needed to see it not when it was already running What would’ve increased the horror is if the protags had actual escape plans and almost got there.

[@zeusamaru]

I honestly thought this was good. The first movie came out in 2008 and a lot of people who haven’t seen it got to see it thru this movie and honestly thought the horror and pacing wasn’t bad. Been a while since we’ve had a slasher horror film and this one honestly was a good reintroduction to the franchise. The strangers themselves were the best part I see them as the real main characters of this movie because we’ll get them in another movie and the couple in the movie made dumb decisions but it made my watching experience more fun in the theater the whole theater was laughing and jumping at certain parts we all had fun to be honest.

I wouldn't even say it's a prequel, it's literally the same as the original but worse. They badly copy lines, they badly copy story beats. The only good thing they did was cast Madelaine Petsch, not for her performance, but because she is a somewhat bankable name with a pre-existing audience from Riverdale. Aren't they releasing a further 2 movies this year?

Your solution for the characters once they get the gun is literally what the characters in the original do. It doesn’t end well for them however still the best course of action. This remake ? Reboot? Prequel?!?! Was so bad 🤧
