Easily the best part of the movie is the music - Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart is so money. However, the complete randomness of the killing is just sort of weird. Hollywood is anti-gun, yet they promote guns in this movie asEasily the best part of the movie is the music - Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart is so money. However, the complete randomness of the killing is just sort of weird. Hollywood is anti-gun, yet they promote guns in this movie as the only practical solution when facing knives and axes. It's also crazy short.… Expand

I think the film, much like the first film, does a great job at making the characters relatable and the great acting by the cast really helps sell the situation that they find themselves in. It's everything else that is kind of eh.

The Strangers 2 focuses less on suspense, more on outright action and features an incredibly generic, predictable plot that you can guess from beginning to end without issue. It's not a terrible watch but it's unoriginal and doesn't really live up to the hype despite the decade wait between sequels (for whatever reason).… Expand

A film that takes a 1980's slasher horror style but does little with it. It's hard to get behind any of these dumb horror characters and besides an interesting pool scene it not really worth your time.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Forced in every way and its characters don't matter at all, even when they start to die and yet it wasn't as disappointing as I thought it would be.

But of course is completely forgettable, the main characters are exasperating especially for the repetition of situations.
There's an incredibly ridiculous moment where the young dude asks his father directly if he really plans to shoot the guy with a mask that is threatening them with an ax, counting the fact they're coming from a room where there are two dead bodies. Really?

If you manage to pass those elements I think you might enjoy it as an ideal film for a Sunday if there are no better options.
I give it a 5 because I liked the atmosphere and the handling of the camera at certain times. Those approaches from the old school were a nice touch.… Expand

So when TheThe original The Strangers, which came out in 2008, wasn't particularly loved by critics (it got a 45% on Rotten Tomatoes), but I was quite a fan of it. It was enjoyable and I dug the somewhat realistic take on the slasher genre. So when The Strangers: Prey at Night was announced, I was fairly hopeful that we'd get a solid sequel. Unfortunately, we did not. The Strangers: Prey at Night is directed by Johannes Roberts and stars Christina Hendricks, Bailee Madison, and Lewis Pullman. It follows the same trio of killers from the first movie as they prey on a new group of unsuspecting folks, and the setting is probably the movie's best aspect. The concept of setting this story in a trailer park is pretty compelling and interesting, and it held my attention throughout the film. Alas, this movie is dragged down to a fairly low level by a mediocre script and all of the characters being unbelievably stupid. I mean really, really stupid. I understand that this is a slasher film, and the characters in slasher films aren't typically the smartest peeps on the block....but still, the characters in this movie make decisions that legitimately don't make any sense. I also have some issues with the story itself, but my issues are mostly towards the end so I'll shy away from them so I don't spoil anything. Just know that I'm not a fan of the direction that they go with the trio of killers late in the movie. There's still some enjoyment to be had with this movie. As I said, the setting is interesting, and I still do find how nonchalant the trio of killers are to be compelling, but ultimately, in my opinion, it falls short of the first film in almost every way.… Expand

Why take the perfectly working car and flee if we can run around yelling each other's names for the killers to know where we are?

The Wyatt Brothers would be completely unable to make fun of this one … Expand

The sequel takes place in a trailer park, with the family trying to survive against the same attackers. However, the sequel is not as good as the original due to a reliance on cliches and weak characters. The pacing is slow, and the plot is predictable. The villains are the best part of the movie, but the movie is bogged down by the bad decisions made by the characters. The soundtrack is good, and the visuals are well done. The final scene is unbelievable and the ending is unsatisfying. Overall, it is not a terrible movie, but it is not as good as the original.

The Strangers: Prey at Night es una secuela de la película de terror de 2008 The Strangers, en la que tres asaltantes enmascarados acechan a una familia. La secuela tiene lugar en un parque de casas rodantes, con la familia tratando de sobrevivir contra los mismos atacantes. Sin embargo, la secuela no es tan buena como la original debido a la dependencia de clichés y personajes débiles. El ritmo es lento y la trama es predecible. Los villanos son la mejor parte de la película, pero la película se empantana por las malas decisiones que toman los personajes. La banda sonora es buena y las imágenes están bien logradas. La escena final es increíble y el final es insatisfactorio. En general, no es una película terrible, pero no es tan buena como la original.… Expand
