The Strangers Chapter 1

“The Strangers Chapter 1” is 2024 horror movie and prequel to the horror series “The Strangers”. It stars Madelaine Petsch (Riverdale), Ryan Bown (Everything I Know About Love), and Ema Horvath (What Lies Below).

A couple traveling stop in a remote town for a bite to eat, but upon leaving the diner, they find their care won’t start. They stay the night at a remote cabin, and also the only Airbnb in town, in hopes their car will be fixed by morning by a local mechanic. While staying at the cabin the young couple is terrorized by three masked intruders. They must try to escape before it’s too late.

This one follows the style of the other stranger movies by starting out with a knock on the door, followed by a cat and mouse game by the masked intruders. Even though I knew what was going to happen, it is still entertaining. They did a good job capturing the creepiness of the others and it sets itself up for the second chapter. While it isn’t as good as the original, it’s still worth watching. I give it a 7/10.

Sightless

‘Sightless’ is a 2020 thriller, it has a small cast starring Madelaine Petsch (Polaroid), Alexander Koch (Under the Dome), and December Ensminger (True Detective). A young talented violinist (Petsch) is attacked and left blind. She is moved to a new apartment and given a caregiver (Koch) to help her adjust to her new lifestyle. However, paranoia soon sets in.

You can currently check this one out on Netflix, it starts out a little slow but about halfway through the movie, it starts to pick up, so bear with it. It’s pretty easy to guess what the twist is with basically a three person cast, I called it early in the film, but it’s still a good watch. It throws some misdirection in here and there with seeing what she thinks she is seeing, and may have you question what’s going on. I give it a 7.5/10.
