A review of the film only, The Strangers was originally produced in 2008 and was released on region 2 DVD in December of the same year.

I was pulled in by the hype surrounding this film, let's make no bones about it. I'd seen flashes on the internet of scary masked people and heard clips on TV adverts of a haunting girl's voice: "Because you were home".

So recently I rented a copy of 'the strangers' and me and my friends sat down and watched it together, in hope that we would scare ourselves for fun!
