Why it’s HorroRated
The Strangers Prey at Night is a functional sequel that loses the first film's formal discipline in exchange for a slightly larger canvas. Johannes Roberts directs with competence and the 80s needle drops give it a tonal identity. The pool sequence is the film's best moment. Worth the time if you liked the original and want more of the same.
Synopsis
Johannes Roberts directs the sequel with enough craft to make the formula work and the campground setting gives it a different feel from the original's isolated house. The 80s needle drops give it a tonal identity. Worth the time if you liked the original and want more of the same.
