The Strangers
Lock the door. Pretend you're safe.
Directed by Bryan Bertino
Produced by Intrepid Pictures, Rogue Pictures
A relentless home-invasion horror film that traps its protagonists in escalating psychological and physical terror with masked, motiveless killers.
After a 4 a.m. knock at the door and haunting voices, Kristen McKay and James Hoyt’s remote getaway becomes a psychological night of terror as three masked strangers invade. Now they must go far beyond what they thought themselves capable of if they hope to survive.
