31 Days of Horror

    By far the most terrifying film of last year, The Strangers hits all the right notes when watched in a dark house late at night. The story of a young couple having a rough night after arriving home late from a party. He proposed, she rejected him. This soon turns out to be the least of their worries when they find themselves being terrorized and toyed with by three masked strangers. The killers and their apparent enjoyment of their little game are reminiscent of the Manson Family. It's not a fun, laugh a minute type of horror film, but if you like your scares to build from real horror and not simply from something jumping at the camera, this is for you.
