"Because you were home" is one of the most fucked up but perfect motivations for a horror villain. I love it.

“because you were home” always sends a chill down my spine

3:30 this might be my favorite shot in any scary movie. no loud music, the camera not drawing your attention to it, and it's how a realistic serial killer would act. lurking in the shadows not making any noise - just observing their target. the feeling of being watched actually justified chilling

I remember when this movie came out and I couldn't stay home alone for MONTHS afterwards. This is like, my number one real life fear. Some people thought the movie was boring but I thought it was really expertly done and very realistic.

He was actually inspired by when he was a kid and a literal stranger knocked on his fams door n asked for somebody they’ve never heard of. And the next day he found out that a buncha houses in his neighborhood were broken into because im guessing no one answered when the “visitors” knocked on the doors of those other houses.

Who’s coming back after prey at night?

I love this movie. Fun fact: Dollface is played by Australian actress/model Gemma Ward. In Pirates of the Caribbean she plays a mermaid named Tamara. In The Strangers she’s the one who asks “Is Tamara home?”

6:35 “PTSD for the rest of his life..” Literally dies like 5 hours later

One day tamra will be there and they’ll just be like “ TAMRA YOUR FRIEND IS HERE”

Cabin in the Woods would be a cool kill count video i think.

This movie is seriously underrated

James:Welcome to the kill count, where we tally up the victims in all our favorite horror movies! James sometimes: This movie is hot garbage

"I want a house in the country." - watches The Strangers- "I think I'll collect baseball cards."

I like how at the end with the smashed window, it's shaped sort of like a heart. It was practically their love that brought them out here and it was smashed

i watched this movie for the first time when i was like 10?? so it was 2011 or so, quite a while ago by teenage standards. doesn't matter how long i go though between watching this movie or seeing recaps, there's one line that sticks with me. "why are you doing this?" "because you were home." that's always haunted me, it just drives home how random and senseless all of this is. it was a source of paranoia for months afterward, and as my mom says, "it just proves that it could have been anyone and that's the point of the line, to make you paranoid and imagine yourself in the situation. it's really effective from a psychological horror standpoint."

going through kill counts I haven't seen yet "why is he talking so fast- oh it must be an older one"

Movies like The Strangers scares me way more than ones with IT or Freddy, because these kind of stories can, and have, actually happened.

Having a jump scare warning is great . I love gore but I find jump scares hard to deal with. You are really thoughtful with your content imo.

Stranger: It will be easier next time. Strangers 2: No, I don't think it will.
