The director is a failure, Reivew on The Strangers

The first half of the film is quite normal, and it can even be said that it is not bad. The heroine played by Liv Tyler did not accept the male lead's proposal. The two returned to the suburban holiday house late at night, but the unexpected danger was approaching them step by step. . . . . . Generally speaking, this kind of American thriller type is always this kind of routine. The first half is a little dull, to pave the way for the arrival of the second half of the thriller. I think until the hero goes out, there is only Liv Tyler in the big house, and the surrounding is quiet. Great, and the scene of the masked man with a knife slowly appearing behind her is still very attractive, and the publisher also missed the opportunity to use this scene as one of the promotional posters. However, the following plot development brought the audience constant disappointment. The director seems to be obsessed with shooting the film into a crime scene reenactment of a real event, while ignoring the effective method of shooting a commercial thriller. The heroine Liv Tyler first felt the danger, and the hero, thank God after a series of unfortunate events, seemed to finally realize it, but they both seemed to have forgotten to resist and gave up the use of guns, which are more advanced than gangsters' knives. The weapon, in the second half of the film, is just constantly seeking help and finally begging for mercy to be killed. The mistakes and inconsistencies in the details make the audience feel fooled after watching it. Compared with the fun game remakes of European films of the same theme a year ago, the level difference is too great.
