A violent and dangerous trio returns to theaters for the first time since 2018. The Strangers became a surprise franchise after a ten-year gap between the first two features. While 2008’s edition evolved into cult status, director Renny Harlin began formulating a plan. In conjunction with Lionsgate, Harlin brings The Strangers: Chapter 1 to theaters this weekend. As part of a filmed trilogy, the action and horror director has an opportunity to turn these characters into horror icons. Harlin brings his sense of style to the flick, which becomes a necessity. The first part of this new series primarily retells Bryan Bertino’s original story while grounding it firmly in the Pacific Northwest.

The Strangers: Chapter 1

After 16 years of axe-wielding, needle-dropping, and door-knocking scares, The Strangers have become all too familiar. When Bryan Bertino’s 2008 original asked, “Is Tamara home?” the home invasion felt like a novel avenue for slashers. With added authenticity and a sense of criminal mundanity,...

Rebooting and expanding upon Bryan Bertino’s chilling 2008 horror film in a brand new trilogy, all installments already shot as part of one continuous, overarching story, makes for one of the more ambitious horror endeavors as of late. It also means that The Strangers: Chapter 1 is only the opening act of a three-part saga. Considering it’s the entry most committed to recreating the familiar beats of Bertino’s film, Chapter 1 makes for a tricky-to-gauge, overly familiar introduction to this new expansion.
The Strangers: Chapter 1 introduces happy couple Maya (Madelaine Petsch) and Ryan (Froy Gutierrez) on their way to starting a new life together in the Pacific Northwest. Car troubles leave them stranded in the quirky small town of Venus, Oregon, where they’re forced to stay the night in a cozy but remote cabin in the woods.

Nearly 16 years after Bryan Bertino's The Strangers shocked moviegoers, the three mysterious masked murderers are slicing their way back onto the big screen this week with Lionsgate's May 17th release of The Strangers – Chapter 1, the first film in a new trilogy within The Strangers franchise. Ahead of the film's world premiere in Los Angeles last week, Daily Dead had the chance to talk with producer Courtney Solomon about how the opportunity to make a new Strangers film came about, his desire to do something new with the franchise rather than remake the iconic original movie, exploring the enigmatic masked killers, the initial 289-page screenplay, and more!

Out this week is The Strangers: Chapter 1, the first installment of a new reboot trilogy from director Renny Harlin (A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Master, Deep Blue Sea). While Harlin previously detailed fresh plans for the overarching trilogy, Chapter 1 first aims to recreate the visceral terror of Bryan Bertino’s original film.
It also lays the groundwork for what’s ahead, introducing the peculiar small town of Venus, Oregon.
Bloody Disgusting spoke with Harlin, producer Courtney Solomon, and executive producer/star Madelaine Petsch (“Riverdale”) about the seeds planted for Chapters 2 and 3 within The Strangers: Chapter 1 ahead of its release in theaters this Friday, May 17, 2024.
Based on the original 2008 cult horror franchise, the project features Petsch as Maya, who drives cross-country with her longtime boyfriend, Ryan (Froy Gutierrez), to begin a new life in the Pacific Northwest. When their car breaks down in Venus, Oregon, they’re forced to...

Director Renny Harlin (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master) is bringing us not only a remake of the 2008 film The Strangers (watch it Here), but an entire remake trilogy – at least, it has been referred to as a remake trilogy before, but some have said it’s set “within the same universe” as the original film. In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Harlin has revealed that the three new Strangers films are titled The Strangers: Chapter 1, The Strangers: Chapter 2, and The Strangers: Chapter 3 – and Entertainment Weekly has also shared the first images from The Strangers: Chapter 1, giving us our first look at the trilogy’s version of the title characters, as well as those played by Madelaine Petsch (Riverdale) and Froy Gutierrez (Cruel Summer). These images can be seen at the bottom of this article.
The new Strangers trilogy was filmed in Slovakia, and all three movies were shot simultaneously.

Lionsgate is gearing up to unleash an entire trilogy of brand new movies set in the world of The Strangers, with The Strangers Trilogy set to be released some time next year.
This morning, Entertainment Weekly has provided us with a first taste of The Strangers Trilogy, previewing director Renny Harlin’s new movies with three first-look images.
“When this opportunity came to me, the idea of not doing a remake or a reboot but doing a trilogy based on the original film, I thought it was an incredible opportunity,” Harlin tells Entertainment Weekly in an exclusive chat. He also notes that the first film, The Strangers: Chapter 1, is similar to the original 2008 movie, while its sequels blaze a new path from there.
The Strangers: Chapter 2 and The Strangers: Chapter 3, Harlin notes, “explore what happens to the victims of this kind of violence and who the perpetrators are of this kind of violence.
