Plot
After returning from a wedding reception, a couple staying in an isolated vacation house receive a knock on the door in the mid-hours of the night. What ensues is a violent invasion by three strangers, their faces hidden behind masks. The couple find themselves in a violent struggle, in which they go beyond what either of them thought capable in order to survive.
Something Generic about the film
The film was actually based on an experience Bertino had when he was younger. A stranger knocked on their family home and asked for someone who wasn't there and the next morning his neighbours houses were broken into.
Generic Characteristics of the film:
- Innocent victims
- Psychotic Individuals
- People in twisted relationships
"Strangers" is a reinterpretation of Hitchcock's masterpiece "Psycho". I'd suggest you view Psycho and make some inter textual references, in other words how the director of Strangers is influenced by Hitchcock's film.
