the movie review (THE STRANGERS)
The Strangers is a film by Bryan Bertino. I think he did an okay job with this movie. One strong thing that i noticied that he had in his movie was the music and sound! it seemed that every sound was intensified which is what needs to happen in every movie! the scary parts were, well, not so scary i thought. There were only a few instances where i was a little frightened. It takes a lot to get me scared, 3 stars is pretty good i think. There are two thinkgs that really popped out, i dont know if this is what i learned in drama class, but i noticed that when the couple (james and Kristen) were at the wedding reception, James came up to Kristen and she was laughing, he smiled and the smile went away, the angle changed, and the smile was back but it went away the exact same way it had disappeared the first time. That i thought was a reason to lose half a star, and then something else happened again, Kristen had fallen in the movie and had an extremely bad limp, but then it miracuoisly goes away for about 2 minutes, and then it comes back. That lost it another half star. The reason i take one more star away is because the movie was typical! “OH NO! SOMEONE IS BANGING ON THE DOOR! IM GOING TO WALK VERY SLOWLY (CREATING SUSPENSE) AND I WILL UNLOCK THE DOOR AND SEE WHO IT IS…… OH NO KILLER! I WILL NOW SLAM THE DOOR, LOCK IT BACK, LEAN AGAINST IT, AND SLIDE DOWN TO THE FLOOR TO WEEP” c’mon! i love horror movies, but sometimes they get so boring! and i didnt really like the ending… im not going to give it away, because you should watch it.. im not saying run out and BUY it! i think you should RENT it and watch it. Great movie to watch on halloween night though! CAUTION: WATCH WITH FRIENDS…. IT’S BORING WATCHING IT BY YOURSELF. And dont watch it before you go to bed.. YOU WILL BE PARANOID! lol. All in all, id say watch it. You might like it.
