Strangers: Prey At Night Movie Review

Strangers: Prey at Night Directed by Johannes Roberts (storage 24, 47 Meters Down) Original Screenplay by Bryan Bertino (The Strangers, The Monster) Starring Christina Hendricks (The NeOn Demon, Bad Santa 2) Bailee Madison (Brothers, Just go With it) Martin Henderson (Flyboys, Smoking Aces) Emma Bellomy (SmokeTown, Before the Dark) & Lewis Pullman (Aftermath, Battle of the Sexes) 

A family's road trip takes a dangerous turn when they arrive at a secluded mobile home park to stay with some relatives and find it mysteriously deserted. Under the cover of darkness, three masked psychopaths pay them a visit to test the family's every limit as they struggle to survive.

The first Strangers was a film that hurt me to the core and I was terrified. A movie with horrific scenes and scenarios that can happen to just anyone and that is the magic of most films. Did it need a sequel? I didn’t think so the first Strangers was a cult classic and to me one of the best horror films ever. So there was no point in trying to do a sequel but here is the sequel and was it good? I mean it was ok but it didn’t need to be made. The story is again generic with jump scares here and there. You don’t care about the characters trying to survive at all because they just do stupid things and it’s like them telling the intruders to just kill them already. There are however very inventive scares and kills especially one particular scene that makes the movie fun to watch. To describe it it’s a fun watch if you don’t care about character development and story but to me if you are not invested in characters then you don’t care if they survive or not. 

My Final Score: 6.2/10


Rotten Tomatoes Score: 31%

Glass Movie Review

“Glass” Written & Directed by M. Night Shyamalan (unbreakable, Split) Starring James McAvoy (X-Men, Split) Bruce Willis (Die Hard, Unbreakable) Sarah Paulson (Carol, 12 Years A Slave) Anya Taylor-Joy (Split, The Witch) & Samuel L. Jackson (Avengers, Django Unchained).  Security guard David Dunn uses his supernatural abilities to track Kevin Wendell Crumb, a disturbed man who has twenty-four personalities. Unbreakable to me is an amazing movie and M. Night did have his downs and lost his touch and fan base with follow up releases. I remember sitting in the theater and the first trailer for “the visit” came on and when his name popped up as director the entire audience laughed. I will say however when I saw “the visit” I thought M. Night was getting back in form so when split hit it was truly a great movie especially the tie in at the end with David Dunn letting us know that it was connected to unbreakable. So let’s talk about the closing of the trilogy that is “Glas...

Damian Chazelle is a master when it comes to incorporating story with music and has proved it with La La Land and Whiplash. Here he is again working with Ryan Gosling on a character piece and thinking about it now all of his movies focus solely on character more than anything else. There has been controversy about is this movie patriotic why the flag was not shown planted and all this...
