The Strangers: Chapter 1
They don't need a reason.
Directed by Renny Harlin
Produced by Fifth Element Productions, Sherbone Media
A relentless home-invasion slasher that trades psychological depth for sustained dread and graphic threat, built on paranoia and the terror of random violence.
After their car breaks down in an eerie small town, a young couple are forced to spend the night in a remote cabin. Panic ensues as they are terrorized by three masked strangers who strike with no mercy and seemingly no motives.
