"description": "Do you think they ever found Tamara? What if they'd had a no soliciting sign? Remember those old phone chargers that inevitably turned into a knot? Or how you used to be able to swap out batteries in your flip phone? Glenn Howerton is so effective at always playing exactly that guy. Charming, Dennis-adjacent and always a jerk on the edge of getting very angry. The Strangers is frightening, arguably even terrifying. Opening with crime statistics is a choice. The statistics are significant but it leaves no question as to what's going to happen to Kristen and James here. Unscrewing the bulb and getting them to answer the door is a terrifying first step and things simply escalate from there. The whole thing is expertly staged — the intruders silently observing Kristen in the background, the masks, the messages, the ever present threat until the bloody end. A tense, unsurprising classic.",
