The Strangers, 2008



'The Strangers' is a horror/thriller film that depicts the struggle Kristen McKay and James Hoyt go through to survive, after being stalked by three masked villains.
The film uses a wide range of thriller conventions, including hidden identities, chiaroscuro and the build up of tension. This creates a large sense of mystery throughtout the film, and leads us unsure of who the antagonists are, and why they are after the protagonists.The idea of masks would be interesting to implement into our thriller, as we are covering stalking too.
Also, as we do not find out who the antagonists are, there is a strong possibility of a sequel. The use of unanswered questions could be put into our thriller opening, as it would entice the viewer to watch the rest of the film.
