While The Strangers: Chapter 1 could be an exciting new chapter for the horror franchise, the reboot is still guaranteed to inevitably ruin the original premise of the series. The Strangers was a sleeper hit upon its 2008 release. The $9 million indie horror earned over $80 million at the box office, although notable critics like Roger Ebert didn’t appreciate the movie. Despite its mixed reviews, The Strangers soon gained a reputation as one of the scariest home invasion horror movies ever thanks to its motiveless titular villains. The Strangers of the title proved as inscrutable as they were lethal.
