Tmobile Tuesday owe me $5 because this movie wasn't even the promo code... who looked at this and said yeah , perfect chapter.. I bet AI could do better and I'm not talking about Artificial Intelligence... I'm talking about Allen Iverson

This is like if the first 15 minutes of another horror film was stretched into a full length film in the worst way possible. These are the 2 stupidest people I've ever seen and they could have gotten away numerous times. Also the motive behind the killers was not at all…

Don't listen to all the haters. It's a great movie for people who understand how pacing should work. Build up is great and even ends on a cliffhanger that could go multiple ways. Nice to have a horror movie that doesn't have to rely on gore. I honestly enjoyed it more than…

This was not scary at all. Hardly any talking. No plot. It just a really waste of my time and money. Would not recommend.

Honestly, I never leave reviews. That’s how bad this was. It started off good at first, but it was definitely rushed and needed to go slower. Then it got worse from there. I mean, I guess horror movies the actors are supposed to be stupid but in this movie honestly I don’t…

It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great. If it more realistic, the movie would have been 10 mins long.

Almost the entire movie was predictable and it’s like you’ve already seen it, because you just know what’s going to happen next. Wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t the best one of the franchise. I recommend it only because the killers make the movie feel as if it’s something…

Overall when you know it’s a reenactment of an actual story it’s not bad. However I would have definitely just used my fire stick for the movie, if you know what I mean. ;) There was several times they prolonged scenes that didn’t need it. There was multiple times they…

I did not enjoy the movie at all, it was nothing compared to unsung hero or any other last few movies that have came out that we were given a reward for our T-Mobile Tuesday but as far as motion pictures yeah it wasn't good at all.

I didn't like the ending how the couple didn't survive; at least, they could've left it where she survived it.

The director, Renny Harlin, is a competent and experienced hand, so there’s a sturdy workmanlike quality here but, more typically associated with bombastic action movies, he just doesn’t have the patience required to build real, clammy suspense or the awareness of the smaller specificities that are needed to immerse us in an intimate story such as this.

This film’s approach to slasher film mayhem is liable to induce some serious déjà vu.

The Strangers: Chapter 1 might freak you out if you aren’t old enough to remember The Strangers, but where its predecessor was subtle and interesting, Renny Harlin’s reboot chooses to be ridiculous and boring.
