Liisa LaDouceur quote iconAbove your average serial-killer thriller but having no bad ideas is not the same as having a good one.

ReelViews
James Berardinelli quote iconThe Strangers is so effectively produced that if you arrive home after a night showing to find the electricity off, you will have misgivings about going inside.

C. Fuchs quote iconAfter a while, however, all of the banging, slow walking, hiding, chasing and such become progressively ever more redundant with each passing occurrence and minute.
