The Strangers?

Remarkably, unlike most Horror, Terror, or Torture Porn labeled films that have been released in the past ten years, The Strangers was actually a breath of fresh air. I certainly had my critical eye weighing heavy on the details of the film, but over all was surprisingly more satisfied with the outcome than I had originally anticipated. The slow tension build made for a more suspenseful pace. I liken it to the movie High Tension, which would fit into a similar style of film. The movie didn't really offer anything new in terms of terror. The storyline was familiar and carried on until the tension wore off. It became predictable, however the ending was a nice change and was a palatable end to the tale. The most outlandish part of the movie is the fact you have these "Strangers" creating an atmosphere of terror with the constant pounding of the door, windows, and other objects around, yet they are making way through the yard and house without a trace, like a soft summer wind. They have the silent creeping skills of a master ninja, as they terrorize their victims. I really don't get the silent movement of any creature, or psychopath who isn't a Shinobi.
