Back in 2008, as horror was leaning into torture porn and found footage, The Strangers came along with a quietly haunting premise that took its time and left the audience genuinely unsettled, despite its simplicity. The idea of a group of masked killers tormenting a couple simply because they were home was unnerving and hit on very real fears that someone might be creeping in the shadows, waiting to attack — and to make it even worse, just for the hell of it. The Strangers was a breath of fresh air at a time when the genre was trying to gross out the audience as much as possible.
