Have you heard/Seen the Strangers trailer?
It's driving me CRAZY with the end of the trailer that is out on the radio and TV. When the acrtress says why are you doing this and the people say wHAT? It sounds like "cause ur in our home". But it also sounds like Cause your in a home. Its driving me bananas. hahaTags: None -

Re: Have you heard/Seen the Strangers trailer?
It looks stupid as hell.
If you've got a shotgun and people are trying to break into your house, you call 911 and say "there are some crazy *** dudes trying to break into my home, send some police" then you hide in a corner with said shotgun.
The advent of cell phones has single handedly ruined the already crappy genre of horror movies. Yes, there's going to be some stupid "honey, leave your cell phone in the car" or "OMG our million dollar vacation home is out of cell range" nonsense, but a true baller knows that is garbage, and the people who write like this are garbage.

can you name a few horror movies where the antagonist doesnt have any supernatural abilitys but prevails (until the end) realistically?
On a side note: I hate "I cant get a signal" as the reason you cant contact 5-0 in a horror movie lolComment

Re: Have you heard/Seen the Strangers trailer?
If I was writing it, it'd be pure ridiculousness. The main characters would be sitting in the living room, knowing something bad was about to happen. The bad guys are posseing up at a nearby bad guys hide out. With "epic" music playing in the background, both sides tool up for the impending battle. Think of it like a scene from an Asian or Roman war movie; zoom ins and cuts, very big style.
Then, the 3 bad guys break through the door like the guy in The Transporter. They're about to invade this dudes house, tie them up, and do some real devious acts on them. The 3 baddies have AKs, but get in a shootout with the male protagonist, who has been recast as Omar Little from the Wire who blasts on them with his .45. Essentially, that would last a little while, then the good guys would be overtaken by the baddies, tied up, then an excruciatingly long, boring scene like from "Irreversible", then the main bad guy reveals that he has to wear the mask due to horrible scarring, ultimately revealing that he's Darth Vader. Then aliens come and save the day.
Now that would be a hot movie. And it's based on true events.
But I have free tickets, so I'll probably see this Friday morning. Hopefully there will be violence.Last edited by Cebby; 05-27-2008, 04:26 PM.Comment

I'm saying though, this movie should either be realistic or straight up crazy.

Re: Have you heard/Seen the Strangers trailer?
Yea, not feeling this movie.
Lets put it this way. This is based on true events and I'm sure those events were nuts. And the concept seems like it could be extremely good.
But, I can already tell that the movie, like all horror movies, was done poorly. It's going to make you pull your hair at the idiocy you'll see on screen.
The worst thing someone could do is tell me to write a screenplay on a movie like this. That movie would end in 10 minutes because the victims would either be out or they'd be dead immediately.
Also, it'll more likely be the latter because there's no true horror if you know you'll survive. I'll make the most important character die and the least important live. If people in the theater got up and said, "What the f---!? That dumb girl lived and the damn hero died?" Then I'd be like, "Hell yes because that's life.""It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

I'm just surprised it has an R rating unlike a PG-13 rating like all the other "horror" movies in the past 5 years.
