![]() Weird that Luke would not already be home despite it appearing like this trip is a big deal but I guess it’s supposed to show that the family isn’t the closest. We also learn they have another kid, Luke (played by Lewis Pullman) who is playing baseball somewhere despite Mike stating they’re already late. It appears as if the family is taking Kinsey somewhere she doesn’t want to go to. Inside the house, we see there’s some tension between the mother, Cindy (played by Christina Hendricks) and Kinsey. Mike, the father (played by Martin Henderson) packs his daughter Kinsey’s (played by Bailee Madison) things into the car. I’m going out on a limb and saying he’s going to die too.Ī title screen fades in and we fade out to our main characters. Since the last movie I’ve learned the names of the killers, this one is Dollface. She locks the door (why wasn’t it already locked?!) and then hears the knocking coming from inside the home! She turns around and sees and intruder. Going to check she sees the truck outside now empty. Cutting to the inside, an elderly couple is asleep with a dog at the foot of the bed, when the wife is woken up by banging on the front door. We next see a truck with the silhouettes of three people inside drive up the road and pull up to a trailer home. ![]() At least this movie barely tries compared to the first movie’s full screen text. Like the first movie which tries really hard to make you believe the event’s actually happened, this movie also never happened and were made up by a screenwriter. In the corner of the screen we see “Based on true events.” Spoiler: it’s not actually based on true events. But, if you’re staying at an isolated trailer park home, you’ll definitely be a bit terrified. Unfortunately the film is also not as scary or suspenseful as the original but that doesn’t mean the movie is a bad choice for a horror movie watch. There are some extremely effective jump scares in The Strangers: Prey at Night but they are few and far between. Sometimes just called The Strangers 2, The Strangers: Prey at Night is obviously a sequel to The Strangers, one of my first reviews! You can read that here.ĭuring a stop on a road trip, a family of four is stalked by a trio of serial killers at an isolated trailer park and must fight back in the dead of night to survive. Today we’re looking at 2018’s The Strangers: Prey at Night When we made the movie, Scott tried to do a gut check.I love horror movies and if I’m going to watch them anyway, why not write an entertaining/funny review from the POV of an average movie-goer and not a professional critic. He added, "As a writer, there wasn't anything I wanted James to do that I felt that I could do. Yes, we may eventually find out why, but sometimes they don't." You read obituaries every day where someone is killed for a random reason. And not filling it in with an FBI profile and not filling it in with finding out that somebody's grandmother beat them and now they want to kill everybody. So, I got really fascinated with telling the victims' tale. But none of the victims knew about the Manson family or why it was happening to them.
