POSITIVES
- Soundtrack is filled with many Jim Steinman written songs which is pretty awesome.
- Pop songs played over scenes of terror is oddly fitting in a high tension operatic sense.
- The Strangers themselves are pretty menacing and downright creepy.
- Doesn't rely too much on jump-scares.
- The direction of the pool scene is a huge highlight of the whole movie.
NEGATIVES
- Characters are still doing way too many stupid things, and that's a critique on the protagonists and the antagonists. Gets hard to root for the victims to survive, or the villains to get their kills, when they don't seem to deserve those rewards.
- Too many coincidences and conveniences to the point of absurdity.
- While the soundtrack is great, the pop song choices over the horrific situations, can be a little too ironic.
- All the good things the movie does, gets overshadowed by the poor things it manages to put on screen.
- Expect a lot of face-palm moments and yelling at how idiotic the characters can get.
