The Strangers (2008)

 





What was supposed to be one of the best nights of their lives turns into an endless nightmare for Kristen McKay and James Hoyt.  First Kristen rejects James' marriage proposal at a friend's wedding and after returning to a secluded country home, they receive an odd knock at the door.  Shortly after they are terrorized and tormented relentlessly by three people in masks.  Unable to escape and their one lifeline blown away, Kristen and James are overtaken by the strangers and seemingly stabbed to death.  After the assailants leave, they encounter two boys passing out religious pamphlets.  They eventually stumble upon the house and find Kristen to still be alive.

The Strangers was a sleeper hit of 2008.  Released two years after filming, the tension and creepy score make it one of the more memorable home invasion movies.  The film scared up over 80 millions dollars at the box office.  Despite being a hit, it took ten years for a sequel to be released.  And to make up for the lost time, three new sequels have been recently announced to be helmed by Die Hard 2 (1990) director Renny Harlin.
