*Spoiler warning* the following may spoil the plot of both The Strangers (2008) and The Strangers: Chapter 1 (2024)
Yes, you read that headline right. It is rare for horror remakes, or rather reimaginings, to be better than the original movie, but it has been done, just look at The Hills Have Eyes or The Crazies. Next up on that highly coveted list, I believe, is the first installment in director Renny Harlin’s new horror trilogy, The Strangers Chapter 1, which reinvents the 2008 original horror.
