The scariest part of the movie is the post-credits trailer of Chapter 3 that promises it's coming soon.

- Katie is "meh" onThe Strangers: Chapter 2
Celebrity appearance of pumbaa was not expected walking in.
Esme dislikedThe Strangers: Chapter 2Absolutely unnecessary. Did not add anything to the story. Wasted time.
Noelle likedThe Strangers: Chapter 2i actually got kind of frustrated that she literally couldn’t catch a break 😭 the wild boar scene was cool but my GOD she was being hunted x4!!!
- Pax dislikedThe Strangers: Chapter 2
This sucked. Do not subject yourself to this torture.
GENAI likedThe Strangers: Chapter 2I don’t careeee, this was fun, energetic, genuinely scary at parts, anxiety inducing, and Madelaine Petsch is SO FREAKING GOOD. The only reason this isn’t a love is the unnecessary flashbacks, some cheap looking visuals at part, and that absolutely ridiculous boar attack scene💀
rabid lovedThe Strangers: Chapter 2Love this reboot! You may have to watch it with a grain of salt since it is not very faithful to the original movie. Overall really fun and Madeleine Petsch is killing it. I can’t wait to watch her go full on brutal final girl mode in the third chapter.
- Blue dislikedThe Strangers: Chapter 2
Soo bad I walked out the movie theater. Soooo dragged out. The entire movie is just her running away from them like??? The “plot twist” was so stupid. No point to this movie. First movie wasn’t as bad but this one?? There does not need to be 3 parts.
Nick Milano is "meh" onThe Strangers: Chapter 2R we serious? Wtf was that

I came for the horror, stayed for the unintentional comedy. Somebody call the script doctor 😭📞
JMJames MunizTamara not here no more!!!
AKAiden KempThe movie was very slow paced from start to finish, and on top of that it ends after the only real action/entertainment in the whole movie with a “to be continued” screen.
- AMAkhila Masarapu
More intense than the first one. It had a lot of heart-pounding moments and the lead actress did a great job with her believable acting. She portrayed her character well in both fear and courage.
CFClement FieldsGood movie. Better than the last chapter
YRYolynn RodriguezIt doesn’t give you a full story it just leaves you hanging

The Strangers: Chapter 2' is an improvement on 'The Strangers: Chapter 1.' Then again, a moderate case of food poisoning is an improvement on a severe one.

The story is both simplistic and telegraphed, which is handy because some startlingly inept filmmaking makes the action almost impossible to follow. There are multiple sequences that make no sense to the eye or brain, and basic design and costume decisions that make it nearly impossible to tell characters apart from each other. The only true horror here is that there’s another couple of hours of this still to come.
