The Strangers 2008

"Because you were home" is not enough of a reason. The "strangers" were not strange they were just anonymous.

The only impacting scene happens around 45 minutes in and it's a personal tragedy. An accident. It's far more horrific than anything that the "strangers" cause.

Sure, there are some creepy moments. The stranger in the sack mask lurking in the background of a wide shot within the home is effective. But really, that's about it. It's pretty light on the gore.

The ending is cruel and struck me as unmotivated and pointless. Teasing with "it will be easier next time" makes it even more frustrating. If you love or hate jump scares, there's really only one. You'll know it when you see it. And it's really dumb.

I didn't like this much. Maybe I've see too many killers-with-masks movies.
