    Okay, thanks.

    I was wondering because other than being in the woods or mountains (or where ever) the two stories are very different, I know when they say “inspired by true events” just about anything, but the Keddie murders would make one hell of a movie if they stayed true to the facts.


    I agree. After spending some time on the "Keddie" site, I think a story of those murders would be far scarier and more unsettling.

    The Ghost Hunters should go there and investigate.

    I just read that they demolished the cabin to prevent such people from trying it, however, if you believe in that sort of stuff I dont think a building being gone would deter you from investigating.

    well, i know i will see it....but i'm afraid. it's like the feeling you get before you ride the really big roller coaster. and then there's going home to a dark apartment when the movie is over :eek:!

    OK...saw it on Saturday

    Not too shabby

    I would say it was good.....nothing great

    A few moments were tense or made your insides jump

    Kind of sick and twisted...they way I like these movies

    No spoilers unless you want them

    This movie does look scary, but not nearly as scary as Sarah Jessica Parker's face looks in Sex & The City. Eesh...

    Unfortunately it's based off of these true events....


    In the production notes for "The Strangers," the film's writer-director Bryan Bertino explains just what "true events" the film is based on:

    "That part of the story came to me from a childhood memory. As a kid, I lived in a house on a street in the middle of nowhere. One night, while our parents were out, somebody knocked on the front door and my little sister answered it. At the door were some people asking for somebody that didn't live there. We later found out that these people were knocking on doors in the area and, if no one was home, breaking into the houses. In 'The Strangers,' the fact that someone is at home does not deter the people who've knocked on the front door; it's the reverse."
