The Strangers

Year: 2008

Director: Bryan Bertino

Rotten Tomatoes: 50%

Plot: A couple staying at an isolated vacation home are terrorized by three masked strangers who seem to have no motive beyond making their victims suffer.

Marcela Notes: I was genuinely horrified by this movie and almost cried watching it alone at home, 18 years old. Nightmares for endless nights, anxiety for life. Highly effective for how low budget and not whole lot happening. 

Fun Fact: I'm pretty sure the guy who wrote this was from UT because on day one of Into to Screenwriting they said hey the guy who wrote the Strangers wrote it in this class but I may never know.
