Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

I should hate this movie on general principle. I spent a year or so working on a home invasion film with a pair of producers I like a lot, and my writing partner and I finally turned in a script we all liked a heck of a lot. Unfortunately, THE STRANGERS turned out to be a cockblock on an epic scale, preventing us from getting our film made because of similar ground being covered.

I’ve read THE STRANGERS. And seeing this trailer, it looks like it’s a classy, creepy flick. So like I said, I should hate this movie, but I don’t. I actually like what we’re seeing from it, and I hope the whole film is that same kind of creepy. It looks like Bryan Bertino’s got a really striking eye for this sort of thing.

Here’s what Universal said when sending out the link to the trailer:

Lock the doors. Assume you’re safe... The horrifying events that took place in the Hoyt family’s vacation home at 1801 Clark Road on February 11, 2005, are still not entirely known... Rogue Pictures has just debuted the theatrical trailer for the terrifying suspense thriller – The Strangers - starring Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman.

“Lock the doors. Assume you’re safe.

The horrifying events that took place in the Hoyt family’s vacation home at 1801 Clark Road on February 11, 2005, are still not entirely known.

Champagne. Rose petals. Candlelight. It was supposed to be a night of celebration for Kristen McKay (Liv Tyler ) and James Hoyt (Scott Speedman). But after leaving a friend’s wedding reception and returning to the house, everything had collapsed for the happy couple.

Then came a 4 a.m. knock on the door and a haunting voice.

Is Tamara here?

Writer/director Bryan Bertino explores our most universal fears in The Strangers, a terrifying suspense thriller about a couple whose remote getaway becomes a place of terror when masked strangers invade. The confrontation forces Kristen and James to go far beyond what they thought themselves capable of if they hope to survive.”
