Atom User Reviews for The Strangers: Chapter 1
I would like my 5 dollars back.
Do not waste your money on this movie. I promise go get a combo box from Taco Bell you’ll be more satisfied
Sh*t was poo glad I had T-Mobile Tuesday discount
If I paid full price for this movie I would sue
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 explained like the trailers would have you believe and of course you have to wait till the next movie. If you don't actually have the substance to make 3 movies just make 1, save your money even WITH the T-Mobile Tuesdays deal. Not to mention the guy had an asthma attack for literally anything and the girl could not stfu to save her life LITERALLY 🤦🏻♀️
Just…. Just…. Don’t do this again
I want my $5 back
I asked for a refund
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 the other two Strangers movies.
This was not scary at all. Hardly any talking. No plot. It just a really waste of my time and money. Would not recommend.
The other ones was way much better this seems rushed
Everyone was mad the entire time.
Didn’t like the acting. Wouldn’t recommend. Sucks because I was excited for it. Haven’t been to the movies in over a year!
I can’t believe I wasted my money. Watched the first one before watching this only to find out they are the same exact film. Terrible film.
They had so many chances to get away it’s was so nerve wracking!!!!
It's definitely a Firestick movie if you know what I mean
Made me mad. He could have stayed alive had he just shot her. Dumb dumb dumb
Ruined a franchise
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 even think they have any brain cells because just the sheer stupidity of The actors was unbearable. Honestly was a disgrace to the horror, movie industry.
This movie sucked
Two idiots in the woods making the dumbest survival decisions lol
Movie was dookie
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 that could happen in real life. The “trio” truly make the film! 👌
Don't waste your time .
It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great. If it more realistic, the movie would have been 10 mins long.
That movie was TRASH!!! It should've went to Netflix.
movie was terrible was the worst movie of them all so far
It was wack
Terrible
I’ve seen scarier cartoons. A total waste of time.
Waste of time one of the worst movies
Trust the characters to do everything they’re not supposed to do. I got bored with them being chased around
scary asf
worst hour and a half of my life
Eh, it's all right. This movie has potential. Hopefully, part two will be better.
Do not waste your money on this movie. I promise go get a combo box from Taco Bell you'll be more satisfied
Acting was bad, movie wasn’t good people left during the movie
Ryan is a$$ ong bro sold the game smh
It was stupiddddddddd
Very predictable
I'd pay IMAX 3D prices to watch paint dry for 2 hours than to watch this again
Pointless trash can I get my $5 back
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 could’ve gotten away and that’s why it’s sad they didn’t include the full story. It seemed very rushed towards the end and the fact they’re already releasing the “chapter 2” details proves it was. With all the effects nowadays I definitely would’ve thought they’d make it an actual horror film, not a creepy one. It could’ve been one movie and not a multi part.
Great
Highly recommend it.
Couldn’t even finish the movie when the alarm went off and everyone had to evacuate the theater what a waste of my money!!
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.
Madaline needs to wear clean socks. 🤣
Don’t do it. I repeat… DONT DO IT
Metacritic
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.
