The 2008 slasher The Strangers written and directed by Bryan Bertino is widely considered one of the greatest entries in the home-invasion subgenre of horror.
In 2018 The Strangers: Prey at Night, directed by Johannes Roberts was released to mixed reviews from critics.
A new report has claimed that there are three sequels in the franchise that are all heading into development.
The Strangers is a 2008 American psychological horror film written and directed by Bryan Bertino. The plot follows Kristen (Liv Tyler) and James (Scott Speedman) whose stay at a vacation home is disrupted by three masked criminals who infiltrate the home. The screenplay was inspired by two real-life events: the Manson family Tate murders, a multiple homicide, as well as a series of break-ins that occurred in Bertino’s neighbourhood as a child. Some journalists noted similarities between the film and the Keddie cabin murders that occurred in Keddie, California in 1981, though Bertino did not cite this as a reference. This modern horror favourite is getting a new limited-edition BluRay release in the UK from Second Sight Films.
