New trailer for ‘The Strangers’ with Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman scares the crap out of me
Published 3/12/2008 by Mike at Pop Critics - Movies|TV|Comics|Music|Reviews|Recaps
There are some previews for horror movies that look pretty scary, but I know I could probably sit through them and be okay. In fact, I feel that way about most of them, although The Ring was pretty freaky looking. I did see it, but it took two sittings. Well, here comes along a new trailer for The Strangers and I almost couldn’t even finish that. Alright, I exaggerate a bit, but honestly, this is one of the scariest previews I’ve ever seen. Just think about staying in a nice vacation home with your significant other out in the woods. That ...

... best footage was from a lengthy unfinished battle scene. You can catch glimpses of it in the trailer, too. Banner is trapped in an overhead walkway, attacked with gas, transforms into the green giant and battles military types with jeeps and heavy weaponry and then finally the extremely agile soldier Emil Blonsky (who is not yet The Abomination). It was fairly intense if not particularly dazzling in terms of action choreography. Story-wise it seemed to be an early scene. Liv Tyler was shown briefly in the dull Jennifer Connelly part looking beautiful and concerned. ...

... ) and Kristen McKay (Liv Tyler) arriving home from a friend's wedding. In short time, we learn that the two are in the throes of a failed marriage proposal. None of this is actually stated so clearly. Instead, Bertino places you in the scene, intimately, so that you connect more with the characters by trying to understand what is happening to them as opposed to simply telling you. Up-close, shaky shots of clenched hands and tear-traced cheeks give the film a private sense of realism - privacy that is shattered by the banging of a stranger at their door. ...

... and Liv Tyler) terrorized in their home by a group of sadistic masked assailants, is reasonably violent, but not very graphic: aside from a brief glimpse of a pretty nasty gunshot wound and some stabbings that are either obscured or off-screen, there's not much here that would ordinarily raise rating board eyebrows. (The elaboration states that The Strangers is rated R for language in addition to violence, but there are, at the most, one or two muttered F-bombs.) In terms of content, PG-13 films have gotten away with worse. Hell, the PG-rated ...

... and make those true events even more frightening. It’s a great marketing tool that several classic films have used, such as “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” While Leatherface didn’t go on a killing spree in Texas with his signature chainsaw, real killers such as Ed Gein and Charles Manson inspired his blood-splattered cinematic debut. This is the case with writer/director Bryan Bertino’s feature film, “The Strangers,” a truly terrifying film starring Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman. In the vein of John Larroquette’s iconic narration of “The ...

... matures into something quite scrawny. With greats on board like William Hurt and Tim Roth, it's especially disappointing that these characters never get a chance to stretch and flex their skills. Norton obviously gets most of the space to show his emotional dexterity, and does so in fine fashion. More fitting than Eric Bana, Norton's turn as Bruce Banner is spot-on, effectively portraying the mousey, pragmatic scientist conflicted with and haunted by the destructive force inside him. Liv Tyler as Betty Ross, on the other hand, is one of the film's weakest elements. Both in her ...
