The Big Picture It’s late one night and there’s a knock on the door. Outside, hidden in the dark even though the porch light was working a few moments earlier, is a young woman who wants to know, “Is Tamara home?” There's no one with that name in the house, and locking the door up after this weird encounter will just give a false sense of security. The night of terror has already started in The Strangers , a home invasion slasher inspired by tragic real-life incidents.
Kristen and James return to his family's summer home in the woods after a wedding. Tensions are high as, at the wedding, Kirsten rejected James' proposal of marriage. Their dialogue is understandably limited, with the scenes relying on Tyler and Speedman’s acting to convey everything that isn’t being said. Due to their strained relationship, it makes sense they don’t talk too much, and when they do, they just about whisper as if out of exhaustion.
Director Bryan Bertino Makes the Violence of 'The Strangers' Feel Brutal The realistic violence that does come increases the movie’s disturbing power. The couple gets close to escaping, but their efforts fail, either because they aren’t fast enough or the Strangers amp up their attack. Mike , a friend of James, arrives without any clue he’s entering a life-or-death struggle.
What Happens at the End of ‘The Strangers’? Even though these villains are enigmatic, there is some personality given to each one. The Man in the Mask has a different appearance than the women, making him stand out as the leader. He wears a burlap mask, with eyeholes and a mouth drawn onto it, while wearing a brown suit and tie like he has a desk job he has to get to after the carnage.
