The Strangers: Chapter 1's reviews
Media reviews
Variety
"Chapter 1" can\'t help feeling like an ersatz imitation at times, but it seems the franchise\'s well hasn\'t run dry just yet.
Indiewire
Yes, the masks are great. And yes, home invasions will aways be scary. But when it comes to messing with genre classics, your answer to "Why remake a near-perfect film?" can\'t be "It was here."
The Guardian
The director, Renny Harlin, is a competent and experienced hand, so there\'s a sturdy workmanlike quality here but, more typically associated with bombastic action movies, he just doesn\'t have the patience required to build real, clammy suspense or the awareness of the smaller specificities that are needed to immerse us in an intimate story such as this.
Collider
For now, stick with the original.
