Ok. This ballot has redeemed itself...for now.

I will agree about that part when their friend comes over, instead of him
walking into the house and saying, "Is anybody home?", he decides to stay
quiet and walk around the house waiting to be killed.]]> Sun, 21 Dec 2008 07:08:57 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2729&PID=19739#19739 THE STRANGERS : Scary Enough to Make You...GIGGLE! http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2729&PID=19721#19721 Author: Adam Schramm

Starts out relatively suspensefully but quickly devolves into slow-paced, dull, mind-numbing tedium.  We quickly found ourselves yelling "WOULD YOU F---ING RUN!!!!" repeatedly.  Every suspenseful minute is milked into 5 or 10.  You see the "accidentally shooting the friend" scene coming for 10 minutes.  Lots of annoying "gotcha" moments. 

Too bad...it was a creepy premise and there was some genuine suspense and terror in the movie.  My wife was careful to keep doors locked when we were home for weeks after seeing it. 

Overall, not great (not even particularly good,) but certainly not Razzie material.  Too many "eh..." movies getting Razzie nods waters down the Razzie achievement, IMHO.

I completely disagree. It's a decent movie, yes. I really do love the characters, but then they make one stupid mistake after another. It's not even scary because the trailer shows everything, especially close to the end where the baddies come in. Ugh!  And the beginning ruins everything, because they tell you exactly what's going to happen. Omg! They just spilled everything, taking any suspense out of seeing it. There's literally no suspense throughout the film, but I was surprised at the end...

The film is short, but even so, it feels like 2 hours, because literally nothing happens. It's done in 90 minutes, but it could've been done in 20 minutes. 

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: "Omg" back atya, moviewizguy. This is one of the most schizophrenic posts I've ever seen on this Forum! You argue throughout that this film is pointless, overlong, has "no suspense" and "nothing happens" -- yet you start out by saying "it's a decent movie." Every remark you make after that suggests you think STRANGERS sucked, yet you are incapable of just saying so... 

Why isn't it okay for you to occasionally admit you actually dislike a movie?? That's really what this Forum -- and the RAZZIE Awards themselves -- are all about...

Say with it what you will, I found it to be uncannily skilled at building
suspense. It was so relentless in its terror and violence that I found
myself praying for the sake of the victims, as the movie is careful to make
these characters realistic and commiserative. Granted, it uses some of the
old cliches, but I thought the movie was well directed enough to make me
care that these people are in danger. It does have some other flaws, I
think that showing the boy's 911 calls at the beginning of the movie and
not the end was a huge mistake and the opening narration that "the
brutal events that took place are not entirely known" gives the audience
the implication that the victims did not survive. Other than that, I thought
the movie was so clever at maintaining the eerie creepiness that I think
this is one of the better horror movies of the year, especially in the year of
Prom Night and The Happening.]]> Fri, 19 Dec 2008 15:17:27 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2729&PID=19704#19704 THE STRANGERS : Scary Enough to Make You...GIGGLE! http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2729&PID=19261#19261 Author: moviewizguy

Funny thing is, this movie rarely has any blood spilled. People who liked this movie (and who found it scary) say it's not about the blood, violence and gore. But I still wasn't impressed.
