Summary, so we got the answer of who the Strangers are and the answer is that they are just a bunch of random people. I don’t know why I expected something more, I really don’t. I was hoping they would be part of some grand murder society that was operating all over the US, perhaps even in league with the government for population control, ala the Purge, but no just random nobodies. I thought that was why the town all knew but didn’t say anything about the Strangers but no, it was just the Sheriff’s son and I guess they are scared of him.
The idea that the ginger girl from Riverdale is going to take over as the leader of the Strangers, is odd. She suffers a number of tragedies but that doesn’t just flip a switch in your mind and go okay I am going to kill now. It doesn’t work like that. Perhaps we’ll soon have a girlboss Strangers film wherein the Strangers are all female, perhaps we can get Paul Feig in for that.
Honestly they keep this franchise going as it costs so little to make they turn a profit but I don’t see where it has to go from here, the Strangers are dead, maybe the Riverdale girl takes over but then it’s just her on her own, everything has been explained rather poorly, so yeah it seems like this is the end.
Overall, it’s okay it’s more of the same but don’t expect an interesting ending.
2.5/5
Pros
A few good kills
Some good jump scares
