11 August 2018: The Strangers

I’m back & forth between 2 1/2 & 3 stars on this one. Had only seen snippets previously, & since it’s on so many lists of good horror I figured I needed to see it. Meh. Could be just that I don’t like home invasion movies very much. I get too annoyed by lapses in logic to enjoy them. Like for example why oh why must they use that “shing” sound effect every time a knife is picked up? Knives don’t just make that noise. It’s like foley artists have never picked up a knife before! Ugh, whatever. I hate getting all picky & Comic Book Guy about movies.
