The Strangers Chapter 1 - Let Me Explain (2024)

[@travwill7147]

@@thedoncjg6263 they also didn't explore really anything different outside of what happened in the original. It actually really does follow almost the exact timeline of the original. One of the strangers knocks on the door and starts the confusion, man leaves the house leaving the girl alone, strangers come back and terrorize the girl they then do the exact fakeout where footsteps approach her but its just the bf again, they both then go out to a shed, and get separated and both get captured separately and we know what happens from there.

[@r3a1itygamezz14]

They did. It’s because they can. That’s what the “horror” is to their character, there’s no explanation for their evil actions, no reasoning or justification to allow you to somewhat humanise them, they are just pure evil

The trailers for this kept emphasizing "Cuz you were here." Truthfully, i have no intent on watching this, but that line did intrigue me. So, the strangers are psychotic and pick people who just happen to be home?

[@mark1A100]

yes. The original movie was based on a childhood experience of a series of break in where the robbers i think would check if anyone was home by asking for a random person. if no one answered they would break into the empty house. The killers are the inverse

[@strawberrylime33]

@mark1A100 I'm confused. In the trailer, a boy comes to the door and asks "Is ___ home?" And the couple says no. So why do the Strangers come back? Why even ask if anyone is home when clearly, someone is home?

Just went and seen this last night with my fiancé and some friends, I have not previously seen the other films and did not have knowledge of previous installments until this video. The survival instincts of the couple is absolutely dreadful, just making all of the opposite choices of what I would do. But, the ambience and feel of the movie itself though was very good to me. I think the “strangers” are what carried this movie. Maybe a 6-6.5/10 in my opinion. Final note: why the heck did Ryan not hop out of his car when he got his leg free and just hop in the ford pick up??? It was the bet option being that it was still on and was a viable running vehicle, and he decided to walk through the foggy woods leaving all sides vulnerable… other than that, decent movie!
