It All Starts Again With The Strangers: Chapter 1 UK Trailer

Don’t answer the door, those masked crazies are set to return to a cinema screen near you. Lionsgate Film have released the UK Trailer for The Strangers: Chapter 1 and it all starts again!

Renny Harlin (Cliffhanger, Die Hard 2, The Exorcist: The Beginning) directs this reboot. The original film came in 2008 created by Brian Bertino starring Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman. That film was a hit with genre fans, unfortunately The Strangers: Prey At Night was mediocre.

Very few remakes get much of a look in these days. However when the new broke The Strangers was getting remade as a trilogy. There was excitement amongst horror fans, Bertino is not onboard this time.

The Strangers: Chapter 1 stars Madelaine Petsch and Froy Gutierrez. They are a young couple who find themselves stranded in the forest and forced to spend a night at a remote cabin. A knock at the door finds them tormented by 3 masked strangers.

It’s the same premise, what changes will there be? Harlin said himself it’s not exactly a reboot but a film with nods to the original. Not long to go until we find out.

After their car breaks down in an eerie small town, a young couple (Madelaine Petsch and Froy Gutierrez) are forced to spend the night in a remote cabin. Panic ensues as they are terrorised by three masked strangers who strike with no mercy and seemingly no motive in The Strangers: Chapter 1, the chilling first entry of this horror feature film series.

The Strangers: Chapter 1 will be released in UK and Irish cinemas from 17th May.
