Horror Reimagined or Regrettable?: The Strangers Chapter One (2024) Movie Review

🏡🌲 Heeeeeeeeeey~! 🪓🚪

Welcome back, movie lovers! I'm still tackling the list of movies that I need to catch up on and this time we're talking about THE STRANGERS CHAPTER ONE. I'm always looking forward to the next horror flick and this was one I've been excited about. I don't mind reboots, remakes and all that . . . but I wish this was so much better! I keep telling myself it's because THIS IS 1 OF 3 and I just need to be patient and maybe see it all together once all the movies are released but DAMN.

This movie is a huge disappointment and yeah, I just said it's just the first one, but I'm still disappointed in the changes they (seemingly) made to The Strangers motivation as well as the romance and chemistry. I honestly think these two elements stuck out the most. THERE IS SO MUCH THAT STICKS OUT TBH.

A lot of comments dragged the movie for being the same as The Strangers (2008) but I think a lot of people knew it was going to be a remake/relauch. That wasn't my issue with the movie. It was bland and generic. I think if you're a fan of the original, there's a good chance you'll be disappointed. HOWEVER, I did see some reviews that said this one was better than the original. I disagree but I respect that opinion. I do think if you're new to the horror genre and maybe you're looking to venture out of the PG-13 horror flicks then this one might be a good one to add to your watch list.

After their car breaks down in an eerie small town, Maya and Ryan, a young couple celebrating their anniversary, are forced to spend the night in a remote cabin. Panic ensues as they are terrorized by three masked strangers who strike with no mercy and seemingly no motive.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO AGREE WITH ME (THAT'S OKAY I SUPPORT YOU) THIS IS ALL MY OPINION but this is not a good start to a trilogy, but I will still be sat for the next two installments 😂🤪
