The Strangers: Chapter 2 | Film Review
After learning that their previous victim, Maya (Madelaine Petsch) has survived, three masked figures return to finish the job. I gave the first film a 4/10, so you can tell exactly how excited I was to see a sequel, or to even hear that a sequel was coming out. This was not a good film. I didn't think it would be, and yet it still surprised me. For a start, the thing that the first three Strangers movies did was centre each story around completely different people with no connection. Not only does that keep things interesting, but it also means that these villains actually feel scary because they can do this to anyone. I wasn't interested in seeing the characters from Chapter 1 again, and have no idea why the film didn't just go for another fresh take. While watching, it feels like most decisions are made for comedic effect, because it made no sense for a single person to make so many bad decisions over and over again. It got so bad that I actually ended up rooting again...
