Synopsis:

When Cindy and her husband Mike take their rebellious teenage daughter Kinsey and son Luke on a road trip, what begins as an ordinary, gripe-filled family excursion soon becomes their worst nightmare come to life.

Upon arrival at a secluded mobile home park, a knock on their trailer door leads to an inescapable night of terror as three strangers, with inexplicable deadly intentions, force this fractured family to come together and fight for their lives.

We like it because:

While many consider the 2008 original a genre classic, a stronger focus on its cast, tantalising cinematography and eerily playful soundtrack lets The Strangers: Prey at Night achieve the coveted feat of being a sequel that not only lives up to the expectations set by its predecessor, but exceeds them.

Inheriting the series from Bryan Bertini, who assists here as co-writer, director Johannes Roberts and cinematographer Ryan Samul prove a formidable tag team of style. Blending John Carpenter’s iconic mastery of horror’s best friend, lighting, with a fun retro ‘80s soundtrack imbues The Strangers: Prey at Night with the spirit of beloved vintage slashers, with spectacular set pieces, like a particular poolside tussle set to Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” sure to become a staple of our nightmares!

With strong performances from its cast, the central family feel less like lambs led to slaughter and more, genuine people pushed to their very limits, which is perfectly contrasted by the disturbing auras emitted by Bellamy, Maffei and Enslin behind the masks of The Strangers.

The Strangers: Prey at Night is gleefully unrelentless and unpredictable in its chaos, never slowing down and leaving us in perpetual fear of what may be lurking behind the next corner - a frightful experience for vintage thrillseekers and series strangers alike.
