The Strangers (2008)


Based on "true events" (sorta, not really), a couple return from a bad night out to an even worse night in. These movies are not particularly fun to watch, but at least it came at a time when it still felt novel. If you've seen home invasion horror like Funny Games and Vacancy, then you already know what to expect. It's a lot of tension for very little pay-off. If you enjoy watching people being terrorized by masked assailants for 85 minutes, then this is the film for you.
