'Riverdale' star Petsch appears serene and cozy as masked foes loom in the shadows.
The Big Picture The eagerly awaited first looks of Riverdale's Madelaine Petsch and Teen Wolf's Froy Gutierrez-starring The Strangers: Chapter 1 are here. The upcoming horror movie is based on Bryan Bertino’s 2008 film The Strangers, which is now reimagined as a trilogy, directed by Renny Harlin, who himself is equally spooked by the original home invasion horror film. Well, the masked antagonists are just looking north of spookier than they originally did.
In the original The Strangers, the film navigated the harrowing territory of home invasion, presenting a tension-filled narrative that resonated with audiences worldwide. With minimal dialogue and meticulous slow-paced filming — the movie relied heavily on the elements of suspense and anticipation. The masked antagonists, devoid of clear motivations leave no stone unturned to heighten the viewers’ unease in the original film — very much similar to 2005’s House of Wax.
‘The Strangers: Chapter 1’ Will Have the Franchise’s Fans Emotionally Invested Unlike the original movie which just gets you equally terrified with Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman, the trilogy is slated to give the viewers a much more in-depth backstory of the characters. Petsch shared her initial reservations about the trilogy during an interview with Collider’s Perri Nemiroff earlier this year, saying: “I'd like to first tell that person that I too feel that way about the original Strangers.
Just like the 2008 film, the first installment of the trilogy is set to follow Petsch’s character who embarks on a cross-country journey with her longtime boyfriend, played by Gutierrez, to start afresh in the Pacific Northwest. However, when their vehicle malfunctions in Venus, Oregon, the couple finds themselves stranded for the night in a remote Airbnb. Their stay quickly turns nightmarish as they are stalked and terrorized by three mysterious masked figures.
The Strangers: Chapter 1 is set for a 2024 Lionsgate release. Check out the first-look images from below.
