Lock the doors. Assume you’re safe. The horrifying events that took place in the Hoyt family’s vacation home at 1801 Clark Road on February 11, 2005, are still not entirely known. Champagne. Rose petals. Candlelight. It was supposed to be a night of celebration for Kristen McKay (Liv Tyler) and James Hoyt (Scott Speedman). But after leaving a friend’s wedding reception and returning to the house, everything had collapsed for the happy couple. Then came a 4 a.m. knock on the door and a haunting voice. Is Tamara here?

Inspired by a true story, The Strangers marks writer/director Bryan Bertino’s feature film debut and the first-timer does a decent job of capturing the tense atmosphere of a horrifying home invasion by three psychopaths. Bertino shows a lot of restraint in his rookie effort, letting the story build slowly instead of immediately leaping into the action.

We get to know the film’s central characters, a young couple in the midst of a relationship crisis, and see them as real human beings and not just horror movie fodder. That’s a key factor in being able to get wrapped up in their struggle for survival against heavy odds. And once all hell breaks loose, Bertino maintains the pulse-pounding momentum through to nearly the end.

The Story

James Hoyt (Scott Speedman) and Kristen McKay (Liv Tyler) are obviously in the middle of a fight when we’re introduced to them in the beginning of The Strangers. As the story unfolds, the cause of the friction between the couple becomes evident. James proposed and Kristen didn’t say yes. James is the sort of guy women go ga-ga over – a handsome romantic who isn’t a commitmentphobe. He even went as far as to spread rose petals around his family’s vacation home, chill champagne, and set the mood for an intimate evening upon their return to his parents’ place after attending a friend’s wedding. But James’ romantic actions don’t turn the tide in his favor, and now the tension between the two is so thick you’d need a knife to cut through it.

Unfortunately, a knife is exactly what's about to be used to force the couple to forget about the proposal misfire. As they try and deal with the broken state of their relationship in the dead of night, a strange woman knocks on the front door looking for someone who doesn’t live there. Her presence signals the beginning of hours of absolute terror for James and Kristen.

The ‘lost’ stranger isn’t alone. A slight woman wearing a Kewpie Doll mask and a man whose face is hidden in a burlap sack eerily reminiscent of the Scarecrow mask from Batman Begins are her partners in crime, and the fearsome threesome have chosen, arbitrarily it would appear, James and Kristen as their unsuspecting and helpless victims. Their attack escalates from loud pounding noises to threatening messages on walls to physical violence, leaving James and Kristen no time to regroup and think out a plan of action. With the intentions of the strangers made clear, James and Kristen engage in the fight lives for their lives.

The Acting and the Bottom Line

What would you do if you were trapped in a house by a trio of psychos? Would you try escaping into the night screaming bloody murder? Or would you take refuge in one room, barricade the door, and do your best to stay alive until help comes? If of their

you’re the victim in a Hollywood horror movie, chances are you don’t settle on either of those options and instead make the stupidest choices available - choices that if you were sitting in a darkened theater, you’d laugh at yourself for making.

Speedman and Tyler look suitably frightened throughout the action, and pull off a couple in distress admirably despite very limited dialogue. It’s definitely not their fault The Strangers succumbs time and again to having their characters act in clichéd horror movie ways. Kristen is left alone in the house not once but twice, weapons are picked up only to be discarded shortly thereafter, and even after the home’s obviously been invaded, the couple seems to believe they’re safer cringing inside the front door than running for help. There’s even one laughable moment in which Kristen crawls across the front yard in plain sight while apparently under the impression she can’t be seen by any of her attackers. The only explanation can be that her grasp on reality is loose and she thinks she’s popped into a Harry Potter movie and has donned Harry’s invisibility cloak. Why else would she crawl over open ground?

James and Kristen alternate between choosing the worst path available and actually acting as appropriately as possible for the situation. When they behave not like characters in a film but as if they were going through an attack in real life, then this creepy thriller is much more entertaining than the standard ‘random victims attacked by strangers’ movie. When Bertino settles for what looks best on film, The Strangers slinks into all too familiar territory and loses its edge.

The house/set design does create the perfect atmosphere for the invasion to take place, with muted colors and a shadowy hallway providing just the right backdrop for the action to unfold. But sometimes the camera lingers too long on a particular item, as if to say to the audience, ‘This is important but without focusing extra time on it, you’re not sharp enough to pick this up as a clue.’ When that happens the first time, it’s possible to let it slide. The second and third times aren’t so easily overlooked.

The Strangers does have a few real deliciously scary moments; there are some genuinely frightening scenes in Bertino's debut film. But it's an uneven production with too many instances in which we're yanked out of the movie due to the characters implausible actions. Plus, Bertino lets down the audience by finishing up the film with a final scene that's a real disappointment. The momentum Bertino builds up over the course of the movie is deflated by an ending that doesn't match the rest of the film.

I loved the movie poster for The Strangers, cos it sums up the movie premise neatly. It has an early morning dark and sinister hue with 3 characters in masks lurking in the shadows menacingly, and a huge sharp gleaming kitchen knife. The tagline says “Lock the door. Pretend you’re safe”. You dun need to watch the trailer even to figure out what’s the movie’s about.

So, the only reasons left to watch this movie is to be entertained, be scared witless, and find out who these unsettling masked people are, why do they prey on totally innocent and harmless strangers, and do these masked perpetrators get caught?

The movie starts by informing the audience that there are 1.4 million cases of violent crimes reported in USA every year, which is approximately 3,385 cases a day. What happened to Kristen McKay (Liv Tyler) and James Hoyt (Scott Speedman) on the night of February 11, 2005 at the Hoyt’s summer home when they are attacked at 4am in the morning by three masked strangers is harrowing and downright chilling.

Based on true events, first time writer / director Brian Bertino based his screenplay on the premise that “often violence can be senseless”. According to production notes, the filmmaker says, “Crimes are committed all the time that nobody has a chance to explain to the victim why it happened. It just happens. And we’re left to deal with the aftermath.”

Unlike other mask killers in the Friday the 13th and Halloween franchise where they once have a face and a motive to start their killing spree, and are seemingly indestructible, the masked stranger’s only explanation in the movie for their sadistic cat-and-mouse game of torment and torture is answered simply when Kristen is begging for their lives and asks “Why are you doing this to us?” The reply is a deadly cold “Because you were home”.

This movie may bore some hardcore addicts of psychos and gore-lovers who love a crazed killer who hacks, saws and drills their victims in the most creative of ways for a shock-fest spluttering pool of blood-and-guts. And what these masked trio did to their chosen victims is mere child’s play even. But beneath the suspenseful pacing, the creepy soundtrack and the creepy 4am atmosphere of summer houses abandoned after the summer has gone, is a sense of being trapped in your own summer house by totally strangers out to scare the skeleton out of you.

I did not care for the weepy on-the-rocks relationship between Kristen and James, until they happen to be at the wrong place, at the wrong time. It’s just bad luck, some might say, but I started caring when the gramophone started playing mysteriously and the window pane of their bedroom was covered with lipstick graffiti. Their tormentors are sick and mindless, looking for murderous thrills with unsuspecting victims. And the best pleasure they derive is seeing their preys melt like butter on a hot pan, till they’re all but evaporated. What gets me is that these masked serial intruders are really messed up people by night, and seeming normal by day.

The terror scare is senseless and disturbing, yet real enough to actually happen to anyone anytime, so be very afraid. And always remember your parent’s advice: Don’t talk to (The) Strangers.
