Title: The Strangers

Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman get terrorised by masked people in their summer home and.... that's about it.

This only came out in the UK a couple of weeks ago so US people have had plenty of chance to see it. If not, you didn't miss anything. It does have moments that make you jump and the acting and directing are up to the job but quite frankly it's a one-trick pony that brings nothing new to the table.  There's no story, just a sequence of events designed to make you jump. You'd be better of watching "Them" instead which is the same film but shorter and in French which means it's got subtitles and is therefore classier, more intelligent and more artistic.  Alternatively, watch Halloween.

If you really, really must watch this, get it on DVD. Or download it. Don't waste your money going out to see it.
