Am I the only who doesn't mind this cover? Yeah, it's far from perfect. But I still love the movie and the cover isn't THAT bad. But I do agree, those custom DVD covers are great!

CANT WAIT FOR OCT. 21

Just got it today! Love it.

I'm deff getting this on BD!! I hope it has a slipcover!

Again, let's stop b***hing about how bad the artwork is, and contact Universal and pressure them to change it... does anyone have an email address for Universal?

The Strangers was frighting, It's a shame it suffered from to many cliches. Give it a rent.

2 Movies in 1???
Please....ugh.

I do some minor graphic design as a hobby and made a custom cover a while back (still haven't seen the movie) before its release for fun.  http://pethompson.deviantart.com/art/The-Strang...Well, that's pretty impressive. It's 100 times better than the one we're actually getting!

I agree. Uni should be beating a path to your door to ask you if you want a job....

I thought this was pretty boring myself, good thing I didn't pay for my ticket. It had potential, but the characters just seemed lame and they could have done so much to help themselves which made them seem pretty stupid as well. pass.

Just terrible terrible artwork. They need to either just use the poster where Liz is standing in the room with the guy in the room behind her, or the one where Liz and Scott are tied with their backs to us and the three killer staring at them. This is utter trash and makes the film look like a direct to video title. Deserves so much better than this. I hope they change it, but it will not deter me from picking up the Blu-ray.

Awful cover, still want to see the film though. It'll probably be very average but whatever.

Not at all impressed with this movie, as it offered nothing new or interesting. Kind of a shame, considering I can't remember the last decent horror movie to come out.

What a ridiculously bad cover. It's so cliched... The film's better than the artwork gives it credit for.

Terrible artwork.

cover looks like something straight to video.

i cant believe this c**ppy film is getting so much praise? why do you ppl always praise the bad films and criticize all the good ones? this movie was NEITHER good or scary at all. What you saw as tension or suspense i saw as predictability. this movie was not original in the slightest. this movie was this years Vacancy's twin movie, only vacancy was better. plus liv and speedman were pretty dumb in this movie, hard to feel sorry for them becuz of how they acted....and they acted dumber than your typical dumb horror movie characters. like speedman leaving his wifey in the house while he goes out and a load of other things. and like everybody mentioned the 3 weak villains were related to nightcrawler from the xmen.
The "2 Movies in 1" is sooo sad. Thats not 2 movies in 1 its just 2 diff versions of the movie.....shameless marketing ploy.

Quite a tension filled movie but not really that scary. Vacancy and this were quite similar, but Vacancy stood out to me the most. Will get this one for sure though!

I agree that the artwork is not as good as the theatrical posters but it's not really that bad. In fact I quite like it. The thing that disappoints me are the extras. But it does make sense. C**ppy movie. C**ppy extras.

What an absolute horrid cover art!

Have not seen this, quite tempted to check it our, meh may be not...

Artwork added

That artwork sucks and is a bad representation of the movie (which is one of the best movies this summer and one of the best scary movies in a long time.)  How do we pressure Universal Home Entertainment into changing the artwork to at least one of the movie posters (like the one of the closeup of the strangers in masks.)

Still can't wait for the DVD & I just got the original script and wish they would have included some of the scenes that were originally written there, but either left out or cut from the movie.  

George Wright wrote: I saw the movie that "The Strangers" was based on & it turned me off from going to see this in theaters . It was eerie, not scary & the whole premise is supposedly based on a true story from 2002. The title is called "Them" but since its a French film its original title is "Ils". Here is a brief synopsis:

Late one night, Lucas and Clémentine encounter strange events in their remote country home. It starts with prank calls and strange noises, but when the power is cut off and their car disappears, the terrified couple is trapped by the unseen force. Is it simply kids from the school where Clémentine teaches, or could it have something to do with a mother and daughter who mysteriously vanished the day before?

The Strangers is not a remake of Them. Many horror websites compared it to that film, but it is in no way connected to it. I forget which site it was (I believe it was Dread Central), but they had an interview with the writer/director and he said the two are not related. You may think he's covering up like Scorsese did with The Departed, but I doubt it. The two are barely similar anyway, as Fabricio De Zuasnabar said.

NAH, i own 'THEM' and both films are very different from each one...

THE STRANGERS is way scarier, more suspenseful, got the chills, and doesnt involve (SPOLIER) "killer-kids"

i think it's more "realistic"

i do, strangers staring at u with masks or a bag on their heads, that aint scary? it is to me... lol

horrorfan25 wrote: Also the ending was total c**p. I'm not spoiling it but I will tell you that the ending comes at the beginning of the film which was a big mistake from the start.

well, i dont think so, cuz at the beggining, we hear the boy saying there was a lot of blood and dead bodies, so we could easily say it could be protagonists, or the antagonists... besides (SPOILER) the stain of blood in the wall that we see, is not from Kristen or James...

but its allright man, it's ur opinion... lol
im just commenting, on urs...

By far the best horror/slasher film of the past couple of years, but that's not saying much...at all.

Good performances, good suspense, and great cinematography. I'll pick it up when it's $9.99 or so.

This movie was dreadful. The killers reminded me of "Nightcrawler" from the X-Men franchise. They had the power to instantly teleport away.

Saw this in the theaters, wasn't overly impressed, might check it out on BD, though, as it'd probably look very decent in HD, with DTS-HD, no less. I loved Glenn Howerton's (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) cameo. I lmao in the theater when Spoiler Glenn got killed, just because somebody shouted out, "Oh my God, they killed Dennis!"

Not bad but the similarities to last year's (vastly superior)"Vacancy" were a bit hard to overlook...perhaps that's why this movie was shelved for a year?

I loved this movie. It was scary and intense. I can't wait to see what's in the unrated cut. I hope the cover isn't red-tinted though, like a lot of unrated releases are now.

I really liked it. Will eventually buy it. It's no INSIDE though. Anyone who thought this was great should check that one out.

Such an enjoyable horror film. It's so rare these days for a filmmaker to actually try and inject suspense and atmosphere instead of falling back on buckets of gore. I'll take "The Strangers" any day over trash like the "Saw" series or any of the PG-13 atrocities.

I really thought it wasn't scary at all. It just relied on music to scare you. Plus the strangers were just standing there. The only time they 'did' something was the last 5 minutes. More like the dumbest movies I've seen. Although isn't it too early to announce 'The strangers'?

Yay! One of the best horror thrillers I've ever seen. Seriously creepy and freakishly terrifying. Great movie. I'd buy it.

:]

AMAZING MOVIE! Saw it 3 times in theaters! The scariest movie ever! This is what true thrills, chills and scares are about it. VERY CREEPY. Staying home alone will never be the same again. Will buy this DVD the very first day it comes out, wish it had more features, but oh well.

OH MY GOD! i've been waiting for this release so much, and i knew they would release it on October... darn...

i saw this like three times i think... lol

i hope they come up with a good art work...

THE MUST OWN DVD 4 OCTOBER

Saw this TWICE in theaters...one of the scariest movies I have ever seen.

Quicksilver girl... quicksilver girl... quicksilver girl...
