So, I remember seeing the original trailer for this on DVD some time ago and it piquing my curiosity back then. 'The Strangers' hits theatres on 20-May and, quite frankly, looks genuinely scary/disturbing in an 'original-John Carpenter's Halloween meets Wes Craven's Last House on the Left' sort-of-way.
I guess the just of it is, Liv Tyler and the 'WereVampire Dude' from the Underworld flicks are staying in an isolated vacation home and are terrorized by three unknown (and creepily masked) assailants. Nothing too original in theory, but the way it's filmed seems to indicate an above-average job in making it look spookier than hell.
I won't give it too much bearing, but the comment posted on imdb from someone who supposedly attended the premiere said it was a bang-up job in the scare department. You can see what you think by checking out both trailers via YouTube above.
Looks like a good time to me...granted, i'll be viewing it in a crowded theatre versus an isolated vacation home being terrorized by three unknown (and creepily masked) assailants. Shonuff.
