re: What are your opinions on the movie “The Strangers"?

it was a box office success as well with a budget of $9M and grossed over $82M. a young director from Crowley, Texas (Bryan Bertino) wrote the script and received permission to direct the film despite having never directed before after Mark Romanek was originally hired to direct it, but demanded a $40M budget. I'd say they hit a home run with that decision. also found this -


***POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN IT***

Rogue Pictures' producers confirmed to Variety that a sequel is in the works, tentatively titled The Strangers: Part II. The film will be written by Bryan Bertino and directed by Laurent Briet. Shock Till You Drop reported that Realitivity Media put The Strangers: Part 2 on hold because they found that the movie might not be in their interest, even though Universal Pictures is willing to release it. However, Rogue Pictures confirmed in January 2011 that the sequel is now in production, and will begin filming as early as April 2011. The plot follows a family of four who have been evicted from their home due to the economy, and are paid a visit by the same three strangers from the first film. It is not known whether the sequel will receive a theatrical or a straight-to-DVD release. Liv Tyler will return as Kristen McKay while the original three masked villains are also set to return, however, in an interview Tyler had announced that she would only have a minor role.
