The Strangers (2008)



The Good:
The cinematography was pretty good.
The acting was alright.
The soundtrack added to the film.

The Bad:
Loud expected "bangs" to startle the viewer, along with a lot of outside of the characters' POV shots to 'heighten' suspense - neither worked.
The lack of motivation and intelligence on both sides was astounding.
Predictable.
Became less and less creepy by trying to be more and more creepy.

Overall: I wasn't into it, then I was, then I realized my orginal instinct was right. Watch Vacancy instead - similar concept, better execution.
