1. Quality

2. Summary

   Great 4.0

   The Strangers was a super scary suspense ride. Never have I seen a movie that has kept me so built up, and ready for something to happen. When something did happen, I pretty much jumped up and ran to the other side of my room. It had a pretty slow start (good, though) and stayed slow throughout. I did like the pacing since it never got boring. All this lead up to a shocking ending that will shock and disturb you, probably forcing you to never go to sleep again. Let’s just say, if suspense really could kill you…. I’d be dead by now…. twice.

4. Acting

   Perfect 5.0

   The overall acting was surprisingly good, regardless of the lack of dialogue.

5. Male Stars Perfect 5.0

6. Female Stars Perfect 5.0

7. Female Costars Perfect 5.0

8. Male Costars Perfect 5.0

10. Film

    Perfect 5.0

    While I hate most films that take place only in darkness, The Strangers pulled it off. The atmosphere is scary as hell, and the music was well fitted. Just remember- lock your doors.

11. Direction Perfect 5.0

12. Play Perfect 5.0

13. Music Perfect 5.0

14. Visuals Perfect 5.0

16. Edge

    Risqué 2.2

    The violence itself is not that much, but the theme is very dark and disturbing. (which if you don’t know, is 3 masked people terrorizing a couple) Basically, there are stabbings and shootings, but the intent of those stabbings is very twisted.

17. Sex Innocent 1.0

18. Violence Savage 4.5

19. Rudeness Polite 1.0

21. Reality

    Natural 1.0

    EXTREMELY realistic, which is why The Strangers is one of the scariest movies of all time.
