It was hard for me to believe that it has already been a decade since Bryan Bertino’s home-invasion thriller The Strangers led a resurgence of sorts for the low budget home-invasion thriller. While it’s not a perfect film, it’s one I can admire for using some restraint in letting its creepiness get under your skin from time to time rather than using gratuitous gore and jump scares. It was far more successful by lingering a long shot on Liv Tyler smoking a cigarette, oblivious to the out-of-focus figure standing just a few feet behind her in the darkness.
