The Strangers film series consists of American psychological horror films. Based on an original story by Bryan Bertino, the plot centers around three masked psycho-sociopathic home invaders that prey on the innocent owners. Though the first film was marketed as "based on a true story", this was a slight misdirect as the filmmaker stated that he wrote the concept from a series of break-in burglaries that took place in his neighborhood when he was growing up, as well as borrowing elements from the Manson Family Tate murders. [1] Continuing this marketing technique, a "based on a true story" tag was also included at the beginning of the sequels. [2]

The first film was initially met with mixed critical reception upon its release, [3] [4] [5] [6] The film made a world wide theatrical gross of $20,997,985 against a $9,000,000 production budget. [7] Following the announcement of a new film, some critics had since described the original as cult classic. [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] Conversely, its sequel was met with mixed reception with criticism directed towards its inferiority to the original, [13] [14] [15] The film earned 6.4 times its production budget worldwide. [16] Some critics have positively reviewed the movie and stated that it too deserves a cult following, [17] [ unreliable source? ] elaborating that, where the first film was a tribute to 1970s horror films, the second film was meant to replicate the scares of the 1980s. [18] [ unreliable source? ]

The series continued with the release of a standalone trilogy of films set within the same continuity starting with The Strangers: Chapter 1 , [lower-alpha 1] which was released on May 17, 2024. Two more sequels, Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 , will follow. [8] [23] [21] [22]

In the midnight hours as the couple discusses their future and are attempting to sort out their differences, a knock comes at the door. When they answer, a woman asks for someone who does not live there. She continues throughout the night. As the couple begin to question her intentions, things quickly escalate as the vacation home is taken under siege by three psychopathic masked strangers.

In the dead of night, their discussion is interrupted with a knock at the door of the trailer home they rented. Upon answering, a woman asks for someone that is not there with them. As the night continues, she relentlessly continues the process. Just when they begin to question the woman's intentions, three masked serial killer strangers begin to torment and hunt the family members. Frantically making their way to their relatives' home, they discover the couple to be murdered. With no escape, the family must work together despite their differences, as they fight to stay alive.

The Strangers: Chapter 1 (2024)

In August 2022, producer Roy Lee announced that three films would consecutively enter production beginning in September of that year. [31] The trilogy will be a joint-venture production between Lionsgate Films and Frame Film, [12] and will be distributed by Lions Gate Entertainment. [8] [23] Principal photography for the trilogy of films began concurrently in Slovakia, with production wrapping on all three movies by November 2022. [32] [33] In October 2023, the official titles of the three new movies were announced.

Directed by Renny Harlin, with a script written by Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland, the film centers around a young woman (Madelaine Petsch) as she drives cross-country with her long-time boyfriend (Froy Gutierrez) to start a new life together in the Pacific Northwest. When their car breaks down in Venus, Oregon, the couple is forced to rent an isolated Airbnb for the night. Through the night, they fight to stay alive as three masked strangers terrorize them. Harlin stated that the trilogy was intended to be neither a remake nor prequel, but its own rendition of the story and that the tone was going to be close to that of the first movie. [34] The filmmaker also stated that it would explore who the killers are and where they come from. [35]

The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025)

This, the second film of an intended trilogy, was filmed consecutively with the previous movie. Directed by Harlin, with Petsch reprising her role, the plot will follow the events of previous film, while the story will expand in "new and unexpected ways". Produced by Lionsgate Films, it will be distributed by Lions Gate Entertainment. [8] [23] Principal photography wrapped on the project, in November 2022. [32] [33]

Chapter 2 is scheduled to release in 2025. [36] [37]

The Strangers: Chapter 3 (2025)

This, the third and final installment of the trilogy, entered principal photography concurrently with the previous two installments. Harlin directed the project with Petsch reprising her role, and the story concluding the plot line of the trilogy. The film was produced by Lionsgate Films, and will be distributed by Lions Gate Entertainment. Production wrapped in November 2022. [32] [33]

Future

In October 2023 at the New York Comic Con, Harlin stated that there are plans to develop additional films beyond The Strangers Trilogy. The filmmaker acknowledge that the trilogy culminates one cohesive story, while the plot may continue afterward. [38] He later stated that the ending of Chapter 3, intentionally has a cliffhanger ending to homage the final scene of the original film, but also to set up future installments. [39]

Music video

TitleArtistRelease dateDirectorScreenwriter(s)Producer
Withorwithout Parcels October 17, 2018Benjamin HowdeshellBenjamin Howdeshell and Mike Doyle Shawn Wallace

The music video for the single "Withorwithout", by indie pop-rock band Parcels, was released in October 2018. Based on The Strangers film series, the video was directed by Benjamin Howdeshell, with a script he co-wrote with Mike Doyle. The plot of the video clip follows a similar premise to the films. Milla Jovovich and Carsten Nørgaard star as the couple whose home is invaded, while members of the band Jules Crommelin, Patrick Hetherington, Noah Hill, Anatole Serret, and Louie Swain portray the home assailants. The music video includes a plot twist at the end, revealing that the wife is responsible, having faked a home invasion and murdered her husband.

It was later revealed that it was Jovovich's idea to turn the plot around with the reveal that the whole story had been in her character's head, serving as her alibi to the law enforcement. The actress, who also served as executive producer, stated that her parent-instincts would did not like the concept of the band being the real killers. Explaining that they are "sweet boys", she stated: "I [told them], 'I should be the killer.’ I'm sort of known for that anyway and by the way, it would take a lot more than five boys to break into my house. I felt like this could be a really interesting springboard." With the release of the single's music video, renowned artist Laurent Melki created a movie poster similar to the work he has completed before, with the artist saying: "...I imagined this poster as being that of a horror film and I illustrated it as I would have done for a "Freddy" or a blockbuster from the time when movie posters reflected an artist's imagination..." [51] [52]

The music video received praise from horror critics, [51] and received attention from producers of the film series as well. Shortly after its release, producer Roy Lee approached Howdeshell with the idea of creating a feature-length film based on the video. The filmmaker alongside Doyle began writing a script that they pitched to the associated studios. Jovavich expressed interest in reprising her role from the music video. Speculation arose in September 2022 that one of the three films being made may be based on the concept. [53]

In other films

The same record player scrub of Gillian Welch's "My First Lover", which was first used in The Strangers (2008) when the character Kristen first sees one of the intruders wearing a mask, is sampled as an "infinitely creepy record loop on the radio" in the 2009 British found footage analog horror short film No Through Road from Steven Chamberlain. It was additionally used during the last episode of his subsequent 2011–2012 sequel web series, with the music first briefly playing on the radio before repeating at the end of the film as a similarly-masked man (portrayed by Chamberlain) slowly approaches four teenagers sitting in a car. [54] [55]

The titular characters of The Strangers make cameo appearances in the 2011 metafictional horror comedy film The Cabin in the Woods from Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon, portrayed by uncredited stand-ins, as some of the various populates released from the monster cells at the end of the film, subsequently seen burning a trio of security guards on the CCTV monitors.
