Verdict: A disturbing take on the 2008 nightmare. Back in 2008, writer-director Bryan Bertino took us on a rollercoaster ride of terror in The Strangers. Now, a decade later, The Man in the Mask, Pin-Up Girl, and Doll Face are back in all their horrific glory. Originally written by Bryan Bertino and later adapted by []...

Its easy to make fun of our brand of horror cinema. In fact, even calling it our brand is slightly embarrassing, as anyone who has ever been brave enough to sit through a Vikram Bhatt production would confirm. But the next time you sit and giggle at Raaz XVII or whatever, remind yourself that while Indian horror movies are the pits, Hollywood - at least mainstream Hollywood, anyway - isnt faring much better.

The scariest thing about the film wasnt the delicate buildup or the third-act gore but a simple, chilling exchange that was widely used in its marketing campaign. During the climax, while tied up, Tylers character asks her aggressors why theyre torturing them. Then follows an emotionless reply: Because you were home.

The best thing about The Strangers Prey at Night is that it actually fixes some of the problems of the original movie. The biggest criticism of the first film was the lack of variety in the contained environment of the house here the family is being stalked at a weird outdoor location so theres some diversity in where the good guys could hide and be ultimately be on the wrong end of the masked monsters knives.
