The Strangers Chapter 3 review — 'not nearly enough'

Renny Harlin’s mission to expand Bryan Bertino’s streamlined and extremely scary 2008 home-invasion slasher The Strangers into a full-on trilogy (shot simultaneously) makes Peter Jackson’s three-picture adaptation of The Hobbit look like an exercise in restraint.

The Strangers: Chapter 3 review – let it die

In fact, there may never be a worse trilogy than what Harlin has visualized on screen with the energy of…
