Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Strangers: Chapter 1 is the start of an all-new trilogy. Ryan and Maya are the ideal couple moving across the country to begin their lives in a new city. While on their road trip, the couple is forced to spend the night in a secluded cabin when their car breaks down. However, their dream trip turns into a night from hell when three masked strangers terrorize and torture them where no one can hear them scream.
Screen Rant caught up with director Renny Harlin about his new horror movie, The Strangers: Chapter 1. He discussed paying homage to the original 2008 movie and digging into unanswered questions. Howard also broke down how he balanced the original movie with making something new and why they wanted to continue the story after Chapter 1 instead of the usual time jump or even new casts with horror sequels.
There's no rhyme or reason. They are just sadistically playing cat and mouse with these victims and ultimately just kill them and walk away. We all are accustomed to expecting that everything is explained, and there's a nice little end to every story. And there that's why it was so powerful because it showed the randomness of life.
How The Strangers: Chapter 1 Pays Homage To The Original While Creating A New Story The Strangers: Chapter 1 will pay homage to the 2008 classic, taking inspiration from certain key moments and elements of the original. However, Harlin also brought his own spin to the story, answering questions that have long remained a mystery while still bringing the terror of randomness and anonymity to the forefront.
But at the same time, I wanted the film also to feel original and to sort of develop same scenarios, such as somebody knocks on door and says is Tamara here? Or that you lock your windows and doors and you're inside the house only to realize that the perpetrators are also inside the house. So those are the kind of really, really key things that I think are important to experience in the same fashion as in the original film, but then develop new scenes.
