Title: "Inspired by True Events"...like Cain and Abel.
Product review: I've become very suspicious of films that bear the subtitle, "Inspired by True Events." "Inspired" just means that something caused someone to come up with something. It doesn't mean they have to use any elements of what inspired them...they were just inspired by some incident.So the murder behind Cain and Abel in Genesis could've "inspired" THE STRANGERS: somebody did something bad to somebody else.And not that you ever find out why or who the bad guys really are or why we're submitting ourselves to this ordeal. Call me fussy, but I like to know what's going on in my movies. I like to know why people do what they do.This isn't a terrible movie. It's well-crafted...but I knew as much at the end as I did when I started it. It's all style, no substance. I was thankful it wasn't a by-the-numbers slasher flick (because I do despise those tedious exercises more) but was it too much to ask for some insight or info or anything about what was going on here?
