Based on the original 2008 film, The Strangers: Chapter 1 is relaunching a new standalone trilogy.
Starring Riverdale's Cherry Blossum, Madelaine Petsch and Froy Gutierrez star as a couple who come into contact with the three psychopathic masked strangers while on a road trip.
With a very B grade cast, Gabriel Basso and Ema Horvath also star alongside the Riverdale alum.
So I hate a film, leaving with the words, to be continued, however Chapter 2 is expected to be released later in 2024, while Chapter 3 is still awaiting a release date.
Maya drives across the country with her longtime boyfriend, Ryan, for their road trip celebrating their five-year anniversary. Along the way, their car breaks down in Venus, Oregon and they are forced to spend the night in an isolated Airbnb home. Through the night, they are terrorized by three murderous masked strangers.
It is all by the number jump scares alongside tension builders for the entire 90 minutes. Yes it does not over stay it's welcome. It's short, sharp while not being to the point. As we leave the cinema with zero conclusion.
Madelaine Petsch is set to star in the next two chapters, however her onscreen boyfriend Ryan, may not return.
Horror is still king on the big screen in 2024, however how many more remakes and sequels can we, the audience take?
This wasn't perfect, I vaguely remember seeing the 2008 Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman original film, but never caught the maybe straight to DVD sequel, The Strangers: Prey at Night.
Now it's a huge TV finale week ahead, so there will likely be no cinema posts. We have Fire Country, The Cleaning Lady, The Equalizer while Abbott Elementary's third season concludes too, hopefully meaning it lands on Disney+.
Tomorrow, first up you will read about Fire Country's explosive season two finale, ahead of it's third season landing later in 2024, while in 2025 a spin-off will also land.
For now though, The Strangers: Chapter 1, gets a passable 2.5 stars. I had a good sleep and feel generous LOL
