The strangers

Last week i went and saw the new horror movie The Strangers! it was pretty good, it's one of those rare movies that sticks to old school horror staples and does them well to make a good air of tension and set a dark mood. by keeping the plot believable it makes the movie much more intense with two really good things in particular. The first being the soundtrack which comes from an old vynal record player in the living room of the house which during the movie plays through different songs and at it's best point actually gets caught in a loop re playing the same part of one song for a good 4-5 minutes in the background creating a really creepy atmosphere.

and the second being the old pull back the curtains to see the scary stalker facing you though the glass which was done perfectly to leave you convinced that by the time she looks through the sliding door he will be gone, content to play mind games for a while longer. this isnt the case and results in a shocking scene.

this was a good movie and is well worth the cost to go and see it.
