The Strangers: Chapter 1 2024

★★★½

Rewatched 18 May 2024

I think this franchise succeeds the Friday the 13th and Hellraiser films when it comes to subjectivity and fandom. We will never know exactly what fans enjoy about them, to the point of it being easy to wonder if people are even watching the same film.

I’ve never had anything but love for this franchise and The Strangers, something
that, before this weekend, I thought was shared with more genre fans who already want to deter people from seeing this in the theater. 

The Moonlight Sonata scenes, Executive Producer Madelaine Petsch’s creative choices like the iconic gold nail polish, 
more cool truck usage, poetic subtleties to the original (The Sprout and the Bean by Joanna Newsom returns!), and my favorite use of the “hello’s” are not enough for some reviewers, but I’m not particularly interested in the milieu as to why. 

Support Madelaine Petsch, the genre, and cinemas!
