The Strangers – Chapter 2
Director Renny Harlin asserts that The Strangers – Chapter 2, set to hit theaters on September 26th, is not merely a sequel but a significant continuation of the franchise. This upcoming installment is promising a familiar yet enhanced psychological horror experience for fans.
Following its initial release in 2008 and the sequel in 2018, The Strangers has grown into a cult classic. Harlin, eager to honor the fans’ loyalty, is working on a new trilogy featuring this franchise. In the lead-up to the movie’s premiere, Harlin shared with ComicBook that the sequel will unravel several longstanding mysteries about The Strangers. However, keeping in line with traditional slasher conventions, gaining this knowledge won’t necessarily provide a sense of security.
For ‘The Strangers: Chapter 2’, spectators can expect a broader scope in the film, as it transitions from a home invasion to an invasion of an entire town. Director Harlin notes that nowhere is safe now. His personal favorite aspect of the movie is the unexpected origins of the Strangers, which will be gradually unveiled throughout the story.
Harlin is responsible for the trilogy of Strangers films, with the first installment released last year as The Strangers – Chapter 1, and the concluding part, The Strangers – Chapter 3, set to premiere next year. As we anticipate the release of Chapter 2, it’s currently in post-production, and if Harlin’s hints are accurate, fans may appreciate the reduced gap between the films.
The movie titled “The Strangers” revolves around a gang of individuals wearing masks who intrude upon suburban households, causing fear among the homeowners. Right from its inception, the series has stirred up debate due to its assertion that it is “based on a true story,” when in reality, its narratives are a blend of various real-life incidents, such as the Manson Family’s Tate murders and other crimes. However, if Harlin decides to delve deeper into creating fictional portrayals of the intruders in this film, we might stray even further from the truth.
This upcoming movie is the first in the franchise to be produced without Bryan Bertino, who was instrumental in creating the series by writing and directing the original film and co-writing its sequels, “The Strangers: Prey at Night” and “The Strangers – Chapter 1”. Instead, the screenplays for “Chapter 2” and “Chapter 3” were penned by Alan R. Cohen, Alan Freedland, and Amber Loutfi.
You only have a few weeks left to catch up on this series before it ends. As for “The Strangers,” you can stream it right now on Amazon Prime Video. On the other hand, “Prey at Night” is currently available for digital rental or purchase through PVOD outlets. “The Strangers – Chapter 1” is already streaming on Starz, while “The Strangers: Chapter 2” will be in theaters starting September 26th.
