Kinda slow, and quiet too. Best parts are the masks. That being said you can see where American Horror Story got alot of their stuff from. Specially Cult. Very average movie though.

I Really Look Back In 2008 jeez 10 YEARS when i was in GRADE 7, it LOOKED really scary of trailer, scary thing about it was a bit excited to see that but when i saw this movie i rented back in 2008 movie was stupid,silly, unscary, very weak characters lead Kristen McKay (Lil Tyler) Armageddon, The Incredible Hulk she's Boyfriend to James Hoyt (Scott Speedman) Underworld, Underworld Evolution, Dark Blue, xXx Next Level. i thought this movie was so dumb in many LEVELS i thought writers and director can't make this movie right ? they make lead characters look like idiots ! making a lot of stupid decisions it made me laugh it i never got scared of movie, at all because lead characters have made a lot of stupid choices not thinking better. i thought in reality if this happened i would be thinking a lot harder, and it would be realistic then to this, this was unrealistic house invasion movie witch i found so boring killers don't do anything they just peak in and peak out not even scary, i am like your P*ssy just peeking in and peeking out like it's hide and seek they playing i thought idea i liked when man with mask appeared behind Kristen she doesn't turn around. i thought scenes were silly in so many levels (1) idiot, idiot, idiot, James shoot his best friend without not looking if it is killer or if its his friend he shoot a person without not noticing who it is ???? idiot !!!! then it could be 3 group vs 3 group of killers. (2) NEVER LEAVE YOUR GIRLFRIEND buy herself Alone without weapon without any back up, James goes buy himself with shotgun with no smart plan in his head he is just being idiot, if i was him i would stay in house lock up everything, block everything wait until cops come wait until dawn i am pretty sure killers won't wait until dawn, or unless if they got their small truck to smash their house, unless that i thought it was stupid of James to leave house buy himself with shotgun leaving his girlfriend behind in danger ! stupid idiot, stupid writers !! (3) James and Kristen run to car even with flat tire could of parked in garage even more better, James start car doesn't even matter if it was a flat tire i would just keep on driving, truck comes, James get out tells Kristen i am like ??? keep driving car ! but some how killers doesn't burn the car in first place ? before they planning to escape, but no movie has to wait until lead characters have plan b to escape again in car ? i am like laughing to death, saying to myself why could they just get in car and start driving it ? (4) when James may god got shotgun trying to shoot killer lady then point's it at killer just shoot why wait for her to turn her light to blind him, he saw her first shoot that b*tch but no he has to wait until she sees him ? she blinded him and then got knocked out buy mask man i am like ? ok stupid leaving his girlfriend behind..... stupid idiot. this movie was lame, lame ending of movie nothing special not even worth it i have saw this movie back in 2008 when it come out on DVD and blu ray i rented on Blu ray years ago kinda of watching first purge that sucked even more. better movie then to this Vacancy (2007) even better not stupid and weak movie like this movie lead characters made stupid dumb decisions..... 1.0 just movie sucked.

I did like the movie but it feels like they try to be too much of Texas Chainsaw Massacre but with less gore. This movie is fast paced and athosphereic I have to admit including story, character, script, and writting. Is it the best? No. but is it great? Almost. Is it good? For the most part yeah. It's still good after 10 years. 8.3/10

After hearing from a few people that 'The Strangers' was a must-see for horror fans such as myself, I decided to give it a go. Although the beginning was somewhat promising it quickly fell flat.I think the fear of being home alone and having someone break in is a very common one that we all experience on a regular basis. For that reason this movie does a good job at ramping up the initial tension and fear at the beginning. However, there is very little going on throughout the movie to hold the viewers attention and after half an hour or so I stopped paying attention to what was going on because I was bored. The worst part of the movie is that at the end the victim asks the mysterious masked killers why they're doing what they're doing and their response is, "Because you were in." At that point I'd completely lost all respect for what the movie was. The only appeal left in the movie after watching two people fumble around in a big house for an hour and a half trying to evade a violent death, was that perhaps there was going to be an interesting twist. To learn at the end that what happened only happened because the couple happened to be at home is beyond ridiculous and made me feel completely cheated. Though the idea behind 'The Strangers' has potential as it plays on a very common fear we all share of being targeted in our own homes, the way in which its written is uninventive and unrewarding. If this movie made a few changes it could've earned a 6, 7 or maybe even an 8 star rating. All it needed was more focus on the characters, a deeper back-story and for the killers to be connected to the main characters in some way and therefore had motive for their actions. But in failing to do these things, unfortunately, 'The Strangers' is utterly forgettable.
