This movie was awful.I felt bad for Liv Tyler, because she probably went into this thinking it would be a lot better. It truly had a lot of potential, and maybe the original cut was higher in quality. The way the movie flowed and the sheer number of things that are just ignored or not explained lead me to believe that they cut the hell out of this movie and figured that people would forgive.
I usually can forgive lack of explanation when done correctly. I enjoyed Cloverfield. I have no idea what was going on or where the monster came from. You can’t really get that from the movie, but the fabric of the movie doesn’t require it. Not so in The Strangers. You do need more explanation.I should have seen this sooner, and written about it sooner, so that if you did see it, I could have tried to talk you out of it.
