Spoiler Review: The Strangers - Chapter 2

from Eye of the Storm Movie Podcast · host Daniel Gawron

This week we review and discuss The Strangers - Chapter 2, a slasher horror movie directed by Renny Harlin and starring Madelaine Petsch, Gabriel Basso and Ema Horvath, about Maya, the survivor of Chapter 1, being stalked by the Strangers to finish the job.We talk about why this movie didn't work for us as a slasher movie, how it is a series of cliches strung together to full its runtime without any creativity or intention and how easy it would have been to build on the premise of the Strangers to do something more interesting, the nature of suspense in movies and how how the Final Girl trope works in a cast with a single character, why the Strangers remakes are indistinguishable from a practical joke, and much more.Check out our other reviews of the Strangers franchise:The Strangers (2008)https://open.spotify.com/episode/6euIp0uzbixlgdGLtfUZKWThe Strangers - Chapter 1https://open.spotify.com/episode/0QhEvLQDJTRvqJSRoaqnxPThe Strangers - Chapter 3https://open.spotify.com/episode/5wmxvo2ErgNZj3v3WoJfuQ0:00 Intro0:18 Movie Recommendations (Gen V Season 2, To Kill A Monkey, The Fall Guy)04:04 Synopsis & Overall Impressions12:51 Spoiler Discussion54:36 Conclusion & Ratings
