Film Influencer 2025 - The Strangers – Chapter 2

The Strangers – Chapter 2 landed last week at the movies. Right in time for school holidays. Maybe for the senior students that is.

Serving as the fourth film in The Strangers film series, and the second instalment of a new trilogy following last years, The Strangers: Chapter 1.

Starring everyone's favourite ginger Riverdale star Madelaine Petsch, alongside Gabriel Basso & Ema Horvath.

Like Chapter 1, last year, the film received generally negative reviews from certified critics. But what do I think? All will be revealed under the trailer.

The Strangers are back, more brutal and relentless than ever. When they learn that one of their victims, Maya (Petsch), is still alive, they return to finish what they’ve started. 

With nowhere to run and no one to trust, Maya must survive another horrific chapter of terror as The Strangers – driven by a senseless, unceasing purpose – pursue her, more than willing to kill anyone who stands in their way.


So much goes down across this survivalist horror film. The OG, chapter 1 film, was more horror and suspense. This was on the run, survival horror. Whilst its not great, and I'm not sure why there are three chapters. This wasn't awful.

During the credits we even got a peek at Chapter 3.

Honestly I feel like the three films could be merged into one two hour horror feature, or a quick American Horror Story. 

I feel dragging this out over three chapters will leave viewers mildly irritated. Honestly leave cliffhangers for TV shows, this is not for the big screen.

OK, so I'll pass it, but only just. Some of the shit Maya had to put up with in Chapter 2 was downright insane.

2.5 Stars.

Bring on the long weekend - baby!
