“Knock, knock!” “Who’s there?” “Abject terror.” “Abject terror who?” No, not really the beginning of a joke, however the primary premise for The Strangers: Chapter 1, which right here launches a contemporary tackle the house invasion horror idea first launched by Bryan Bertino in 2008’s The Strangers. With Renny Harlin within the director’s chair of what’s deliberate because the kick-off for a trilogy, the trailer has stalked on-line:
Written by Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland, The Strangers: Chapter 1 is concentrated on younger couple Maya (Madelaine Petsch) and Ryan (Froy Gutierrez), who’re taking a street journey as a part of their transfer to the West Coast. When they break down in a small city that redefines the phrase “eerie” (cue townsfolk doing the stop-and-stare within the native diner and past), they should make one of the best of it in a distant cabin.
Their evening turns into more and more scare-shaped when three masked strangers – who followers of the sooner film and follow-up The Strangers: Prey At Night will recognise as Dollface, the Man within the Mask, and the Pin-Up Girl – begin to terrorize them.
These three new Strangers outings, which Harlin has mentioned is not a reboot of the unique however can be filled with easter eggs nodding to it, have been shot again to again. The first can be in UK cinemas on 17 May.
