Do you remember what it was like to race down the hallway at night, terrified because you knew that something was lurking in one of those darkened doorways?  How about lying so still under the covers because the monster from under your bed or inside the closet (or maybe it came through the window) was out there (or holding your breath so that it couldn't hear you breathe) beause you knew it was waiting to pounce the moment you twitched a muscle?  That's kind of what The Strangers is like.  There's not a whole lot of blood, there's not a whole lot of violence but the suspense'll kill you.  Seriously.  It was pretty damn scary (and had some damn creepy masks plus an eerie soundtrack as well -- a group of teenage girls actually ran down the aisle and out of the theater about a third of the way in, unable to watch any more).

(As an aside, why do some people actually applaud and laugh during deeply disturbing moments in films?  People who do that disturb me more than anything I've ever seen in a movie.  If you're so upset or scared by what you're seeing that you have to laugh or make some big macho scene clapping about it , don't go to see horror movies.  And if you're doing it because you genuinely find it humorous, please keep your distance from me and all other people -- you really creep the hell out of me, and not at all in a good way.)
