The Strangers

James

What was up with James constantly leaving his woman by herself?

Okay now, the first time I understand when he went to get her cigarettes. Wait…no I DON’T. He left after that weird girl with the goofy, psychotic voice came at three ninety-nine in the morning asking if Tamara was home. They tell her no, but than her persistent behind asks again…like, “Are you sure?” Now, your gut should tell you something just ain’t right. Here you have some young chick knocking on your door at four in the morning by herself.

Then, James tells Kristen to stay in the house so he can go to his car to get his cell phone after his woman literally looked like she saw a ghost. She told him she was terrorized, they stole her phone, they were in their home, and her hand was all cut up. But wait…this fool takes about 10 steps outside the house and sees that his car window is smashed in and his tires are slashed. Mmmmm Hmmm. Now, I don’t know about you, but Marla would have done the 50 yard dash back up in the house with Kristen. Instead, this buffalo head moves towards his car and gets in to look for his phone with his back turned. Get real.

Then the OH NO HE DIDN’T happened one more time when idiot James tells Kristen to stay in the house AGAIN with no weapons while he runs to the shed to see if he can signal help on some type of radio. Now what person in their right mind would do that? There are 3 of the masks maniacs and 2 of them. He has the gun and he leaves his defenseless woman alone with a butter knife or some type of pear knife. Now if it were my man and me, we would have done it straight up infantry style. I would have found some lead pipe, big butcher knife, or something. He would have had the shot gun. It was apparent that the other 3 didn’t have guns so, we could have done it.  We could have rolled out squatting low and being each other’s back head eyes. Instead, he rolls out by himself allowing is dumb behind to be kicked up side the head and the gun taken from him. Jack ass!

Inspired By True Events

Don’t let those four words mislead you. Remember the word inspired does not mean ‘true story’ or ‘actual facts.’ Sometimes there is nothing about a movie that was inspired by true events are actually in the movie. That’s all that I will say about that. No it isn’t. The writer remembers being a kid and would come to people’s homes and ask if a certain person lived there. Later homes were burglarized when no one was home. These memories inspired Bertino to write the script.

Best Friend

James’ best friend comes out to the middle of no where to pick him up at 5 in the morning. Everything about the scene he rolls up on is suspect. Now, after the loud record got done playing, why didn’t the best friend keep screaming James’ name? Instead he goes creeping slowly down the hallway and never ONCE looks behind him. Now what person do you know never looks behind them. Just dumb!

HUH?

I thought the phone lines were cut or something.

When Kristen was talking to James, the phone went dead like the phone lines were cut. If that is the case, than how was the 911 call made from the young mormon boys that came in the house at day break? Perhaps they used a cell phone, but for some reason they didn’t look like the types of kids that had cell phones.

Another thing….why were the kids sounding soooooooooooooooo scared and petrified on the 911 call? At the end of the movie, they walked in calm and cool and truly looked like unhinged killers themselves. They walked in the house like it was the local general store. They saw the blood everywhere and the dead bodies, but didn’t once flinch, or looked scared. The one nutty looking kid even bent down to touch the blood drenched Kristen. Come on nowwww.
