Personally, I adore the 3rd one. It was actually a nice development on the story from the first two films. I'm also a fan of the 2nd one, but not incredibly. The 1st one is an afterthought, and I'm still upset I paid to see the 4th one. However, I have hope they carry the 5th to a good place.

I feel like we basically have the same thoughts about this series. I was pretty disappointed in the first one when I first saw it but I kept going back. I thought the second was a step up for sure and I really enjoyed the third one a lot...which I was so surprised. I thought they'd all get more terrible as they went along.
However, the fourth one was absolutely horrible in every way possible. It's one of those movies that's so bad I get mad just thinking about even watching it. I walked out of the theater so angry, I wish I could get my money back still to this day. I do hope that they learn from their mistakes on this one and make the fifth a bit better.

I love The Strangers. I recognize there's some dumb **** in it and it's not a perfect horror movie but there's so much good about it. The whole beginning is so amazing at building suspense and tension and a feeling of dread and that first scare where she pulls back the curtains is amazing. I think the movie starts to fall apart when it gets cliche and predictable...aka
her running and tripping and hurting her foot and the friend pulling up...and you know he's just gonna get shot there seconds later
But regardless, that movie is EASILY one of the best horror movies in recent memory...and absolutely ***** all over The Purge.

Yeah, I gotcha. I definitely agree with that too. I think more background should've been given and the movie should've been a little longer. I read on IMDB someone was saying they wish it had started like a week before and I totally agree...more background on basically everything would've been nice.
