Jun 8 - 07:13 AM

Now listen you stupid faggot...are you trying to talk to me like you can?

Jun 9 - 04:49 AM

What are you talking about? I'm pointing out the fact that you missed obvious sarcasm.

Jun 9 - 08:18 AM

Actually I just don't like holly mills

Jun 9 - 03:19 PM

EVERYTHING IS A RIPOFF OF THE STRANGERS!!! JIMBO IS NEVER WRONG!!!!!

Jun 5 - 04:13 PM

This is not a steal from The Strangers. That's like saying The Exorcism of Emily Rose is a steal from The Exorcist.

Japes .

You haven't even seen the movie yet, so....who are you to say the movie is just a rip off of the strangers? Maybe you should save your assumptions until after the movie is released ;)

I saw the trailer for "You're Next" right before this one in the theater and I was like "wait, didn't I already see a trailer for that?"

The Strangers isn't the first home invasion movie. It's a subgenre of other horror movies. Plenty of home invasion flicks before The Strangers came out. This is just an addition...

Unlawful Entry with Ray Liotta. That has got to be one of the better ones. A lot better than Panic Room. Then again, those weren't horror movies. However, they were still home invasion movies. Hell, what about Home Alone? It was a comedy, but still part of the genre. Just saying.

the original when a Stranger Calls was one.

You critique the originality of this flick which is interesting when considering that originality is not a common theme in the horror genre, let alone slasher/home invasion off shoots. Interestingly, you claim this film is going to be the Strangers II because it takes place in a house and the killers, which you presume to be strangers when it is probable that this is not the case, don freaky masks (which if you notice in the trailer, they do not use the masks all the time... a minor difference). You raise interesting points about how there are similarities between the two films, but you clearly overlook Hollywood's tradition of borrowing from other sources. I did not think of the Strangers at all when I saw the trailer. Instead, it evoked a reflection on Panic Room, another home invasion thriller where a safe space isn't as safe as expected. Also, The Purge appears to earn its title from the circumstances that lead up to the terrors the family endures in their home. I find film's like this more engaging than the grand scale chaos you were hoping for, but I can understand the disappointment you express. What puzzles me is how you attack the film (which you haven't even seen yet) for being unoriginal when, as mentioned before, originality is not a Hollywood staple. Masks in horror, for example, are not new. I can't speak for everyone when I say I don't sense very much originality at the helm here. That said, it looks freaky and like a flick I'd enjoy, so...

Are you kidding me? The only comparison is that the strangers wear masks in both films...You haven't even seen this movie yet to compare the two. Just please stay away from horror movies you obviously don't have a very open mind to anything. There are 2 different plots...and if you can' see that then don't even post anything on here you aren't educated enough to know the difference.

did you even watch my video, I laid it out. People trapped in a house being hunted. hell even one of the 2 reviews already onlines states the same damn thing. He called it DieHard with the Strangers. They don't even show the fucking Purge in the movie. The whole fucking movie takes place in a house.

May 26 - 05:17 PM

Tanya Garrigues

No shit the whole movie takes place in a house. Never did the trailers state that the whole movie was going to be about "the actual purge". The plot is entirely different.

Liam Neeson Trollfighter

Then what is the point of calling it the Purge?

May 28 - 07:14 AM

Jimi Swinford

Way to miss the point. Btw, you're coming off a bit trollish.

May 28 - 09:25 AM

Brian Harris

In that case, The Strangers is a rip off of Black Christmas or Inside

Jun 3 - 04:56 PM

Inside is one of my favorite films of all time.

Jun 3 - 05:31 PM

Because they wear masks? That's pretty much the only comparison.

May 25 - 12:01 PM

Jimbo Franks

Nah, you obviously didn't watch my video either. I stated the whole fucking movie is them in a house being hunted only in the house. Purge my ass. It is a strangers house being hunted LOW Budget movie.

May 26 - 05:18 PM

Oh, then I guess The Strangers is a rip-off of the original Halloween and When a Stranger Calls, right?

May 30 - 01:48 PM

Jimbo Franks

Halloween takes place in one house the whole movie. nah go watch it again, dumbass.

Jun 4 - 12:27 AM

And so does The Purge, according to you. So...you basically just said that you agree with me. Nice job, "dumbass."
