"The Strangers" Movie

[Amarok]

Compared to almost any horror movies in the last few years The Strangers was decent. There hasn't really been a decent horror movie since The Descent.

The descent was decent? Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong movie.

This is a good movie. While it had a simple and expected story line; they way its told, and the acting makes it all worth it. I walked out sick to my stomach though. My friend and I were the only one in the theater. =(*'-')//

What I want to know is what inspired them to make this movie. Like it said in the beginning, the movie is based on actual events of a home invasion in 2005. I'd like to know whats fact and whats fiction.

Edit: Or was that entirely Hollywood spin and the 'inspierd by true events just part of the movie'? XD

Edit2: If so, then I guess that's their catch. HOLLYWOOD YOU HAVE FOOLED ME FOR THE LAST TIME!

The movie is inspired by an event from the director Bryan Bertino's childhood, among other things[citation needed]. A stranger came to his home asking for someone who did not live there. Later, he found out that empty homes in the neighborhood had been burglarized[citation needed]. With that memory in mind, Bertino created this screenplay[citation needed].

The screenplay is also inspired by the events of the Charles Manson murders[citation needed]. The core of the story is based[citation needed] on the murders that took place in Cabin #28 at Keddie Resort, in the remote township of Keddie, CA, where three people were found tied up, stabbed, bludgeoned by a hammer. (A fourth victim who had been with the group was found some months later, the body dumped 90 miles away.)[1]

Pan's Labyrinth was like a sick fucking children's movie but damn that was a pretty good movie.
I hear The Strangers is good for nowaday(horror movies) also.

Yeah, based on a true story is usually bullshit in movies. It had some good scares, but started to get pretty dumb after a while. Everything the girl did was really stupid.

Back when I was younger, like 10 yrs. old, a similar thing happened in my Aunt's house with all my cousins and all, and it was scary as shit. A few of my family members were gathering by the door about to go out to walk or something at like 8:00 pm (it was fairly dark outside, and places in the house that had no lights on were dark too). So my grandma noticed a black figure leaning on the wall of the dining room, so she turned on the light and what do you know a masked fucker was there on the wall. Then he said "Does Josefa live here?". LOL comes to mind pretty much, this masked guy, in my family's dark dining room, hiding, asks if somebody lives there? Of course my grandma screamed which caused everyone else to scream and he tried to snatch her purse, he failed though and ran like fuck to the door and had a getaway car ready.

I guess this is an exclusive strategy in South American/Hispanic Countries lolol.

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

God that movie was such a depressing roalercoaster.

[Cochise]

Just a bunch a of stupid decisions like every other horror flick made.

[Dmitry]

It was really creepy near the beginning when that guy just appears in the house. Other than that, typical stupid girl in horror movie.

[drg889]

the ending got me. D:

I would have to say that the scariest part of this movie for me was the blood curdling screams. Only because they seem so -real-. It is hard to emulate screams like that, whether you are an actor or not.

And then of course the line "Because you were home" makes people realize that shit like that can happen to anyone.
