- The Strangers film series consists of American psychological horror films. Based on an original story by Bryan Bertino, the plot centers around masked three psycho-sociopathic home invaders that prey on the innocent owners. Though the first film was marketed as "based on a true story", this was a misdirect as the filmmaker stated that he wrote the concept from a series of break-in burglaries that took place in his neighborhood when he was growing up, as well as borrowing elements from the Manson Family Tate killings. Continuing this marketing technique, a "based on a true story" tag was also included at the beginning of the sequel. The was initially met with mixed critical reception upon its release, though it made a large profit at the box office. Despite this, it has since been praised by contemporary film critics, as a cult classic in the horror genre. Conversley, its was met with negative reception with criticism directed towards its inferiority to the original, while making much less monetary gain. Alternatively, some critics have positively reviewed the movie with the statement that it too deserves a cult following. Elaborating, its stated that the first film was a tribute to '70s horror films, the sequel is meant to replicate the scares of the '80s. The series will continue with three additional films entering production back-to-back. (en)
