I love a good suspense/horror movie, but the problem is that so few horror movies are actually GOOD these days. I blame Lionsgate for the most part, since they're the main company churning out horrible movies and calling them "horror." The Strangers is a nice breath of fresh suspense. It takes a simple premise (instead of over-complicating things with super natural B.S. like the movies mentioned in this review's title) and makes it truly frightening. I thrives on simple moments, but those moments are full of intensity and fear. The acting is on point, the script is very real, and it all feels very fresh. The only thing that's even remotely negative is the thing with the Mormon kids, but it's not too huge of a deal. If you're a fan of SUSPENSE, go see The Strangers.
