I've watched thousands of movies, and I've never heard of it. Maybe it wasn't nearly as good as you think it was. How many Academy Awards was it nominated for?
Ah yes, academy awards perfectly dictates the quality of a film especially when boss baby won best animated feature over a silent voice@@RobbieStacks90
The true horror of The Strangers (2008) is realizing that they could get into the house and kill the couple whenever they wanted to; they were just wanting to toy with them for as long as possible.
The very best kind of horror always has some degree of this. Specifically, the realization that you weren’t safe when you thought you were. That sudden loss of control is a major payoff
@@brodyca1898 Almost any horror franchise. Jason didn't hold off killing people to raise tension, Freddie didn't have any powers outside of dreams so was neutralized otherwise, Hellraiser was a bunch of demons that were more worried about eternal torture than death, Jeepers Creepers, the demon was not trying to draw anything out, once it picked a victim it went for it. I mean, if you are trying to stretch the definition of horror tension to "not immediately murdering every person on screen every second" you'd be right, otherwise you're a dolt.
Saw the first movie when I was a kid and the whole "why are you doing this" "because you were home" stuck with me for a while. To a point where I didn't want to be home alone. The shots where you can see them in the house but it doesn't always draw attention to it was what amplified it as well. It's haunting to know it's a game to the killers. It's not like Michael or Jason where they just get a high body count. Reminds me of that film with the deaf woman and the guy who stalks/breaks in and attacks her. The bit where she leaves a message saying police called she hasn't saw his face and he takes the mask off in front of her letting her know he means business.
Worst unrealistic horror movie trope is when someone is totally distressed about something and the other person just straight up dont believe him or her. "it must have been your imagination"
Bro I can’t remember the movie but it was one of those “I never let go of my camera” movie this bitch moves her a camera in on a cabin someone is standing by the door she quickly moves back to the door and gasps this is the dialogue Camera girl- “Oh my god” Friend:”what is it” Camera girl “I saw someone” Friend “no you didn’t”
I swear I've seen a movie where a guy and his group of friends went to an abandoned house and then all his friends got murdered and he was covered in blood with visible wounds and when he tried to tell other people about it, they either said "it's just your imagination" or "Bad prank"
The second I heard “it looks like a nice town I bet people are really happy here” and “do you know what today is? The last day of our 3 day roadtrip. And our 3 year anniversary.” I knew this would be a stinker.
Games have been awful about that for a while now. Just terrified at the thought that someone didn't get the message on their own so it's spelled out for them
At my theater everyone let out a collective sigh whenever the main guy had to do his whole monologue when facing one of the strangers and getting knocked out for it
DUDE, YEAH. I find it so stupid because he did not hesitate at ALL when he shot the cabin owner (thinking it was a Stranger), so why did he have to hesitate during that moment??
@@BugleBottom Nah bruh you can't be doing stuff like that in America. I know too many people with a cross over between gun ownership and having watched the first Strangers movie way back when it came out. Going and standing outside peoples homes with those masks is a great way to get lead poisoning LMAO
The best part about the car scene is they sat in joes car for probably 15 seconds before the stranger came with his truck, then the stranger revved the truck at them for 5-10 seconds and they just sat there and we're like "oh no what do we do!" Then the scene where he has a shotgun to one of the strangers he sits there for no joke 1-2 minutes trying to talk to her before getting blind sided by a guy full sprinting through leaves and doesn't hear him.
@@patrickboian8545 yes, so the first movie is called "Breaking", it's a cheesy dance movie about how dancing will save the day.

All they had to do was put in some throwaway lines near the beginning about her having a bad reaction to her BFs specific stuff, or show he was lacing it with something that could cause visual disturbances she didn’t know about. Simple shit they didn’t think to write or they left behind in editing
Midsommar still has the best depiction of Shrooms I’ve ever seen. It’s not over-exaggerated and when there are visuals it’s relation to her deteriorating mental state.
@Yodoggy9 I hooked up with a guy once and woke up at 5am to the ending of midsommar. I almost had a heart attack. Waking up next to a guy I barely knew three states away from home to a woman screaming was probably one of the worst things that could have happened short of actual murder
Just watched the trailer with my wife to test something. She stopped mid way and asked if it was a remake for chapter one of the first movie. I said no, we watched the rest, and she called the last line word for word, lol. Then, she went on to ask what does this have to do with where it all began. They missed the mark horrendously.

I think both sides are right in this in a way, people like Steven Seagal have been making strait trash for decades at this point, but modern movies are definitely getting much worse somehow.

@@tanner201x8 Well, can you give your opinion then? I think it's fantastic on first watch because the realistic situation is very tense. On rewatch it wasn't as fun because the tension is lost since you know how the movie plays out. I don't think rewatch-ability makes a good movie though, so I'll always defend the OG.
@@CharlieCabralosi’ll give my opinion and say that the first movie is written pretty decently. yea certain things happen because scary movie plot, but otherwise the couple isn’t nearly as stupid, the strangers are smarter, actually play tricks, and have personality that isn’t just generic “we’re crazyyy and wear clown masks woahh”. its definitely a long movie for sure, but it doesn’t pad for runtime like this one
and here was me thinking Halloween Ends sucked look that movie could have been good they had a really cool song Come 2 me by Johnny Goth the new person they were building up was actually kinda cool then they just decided ah lets kill him booooo and Michael Myres dies pretty awfully not painful or gory no just boring
the couple in the first Strangers was actually pretty smart apart from a few mistakes; everything they tried was just countered by the Strangers toying with them: they destroyed his car, broke their phones and the radio in the shack, ambushed the guy when he had a clean shot on one, getting them paranoid enough to kill dennis reynolds
A trilogy? Seriously!? So many talented writers and directors are fighting for a spot on some random TV show, and this "Moonfall" guy gets a trilogy? *Apparently I misheard Charley here, he was referring to the director of Tarot. But my point still stands Harlin's track record isn't clean either.
Renny Harlin has been bad ever since 2000! His last good movie was "Deep Blue Sea" in 99. To me, his good movies were "A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master", "Die Hard 2", "Cliffhanger", "The Long Kiss Goodnight" and "Deep Blue Sea"
The problem is that there's nothing new to offer to the table nowadays. Even if you're going to make a movie, at least offer something worth watching, add some twists, or subvert expectations. Do something unique. The problem is that if you get lazy with the same old stuff, it gets tiring.
You dont need to even thinking new troupe. King exile his son to be strong? Thats common troupe, but stop trying to make it more epic. Heck try making it over the top that actually 3 King from different Kingdom do the same yet join mercenary and these Son actually become rivals and whatever happen. Make the character likeable. Use the guilt of time instead guilt of self. Move on. It just a example, but these day movie looks like mental illness story. Heck they not even build Expectation for the watcher to step on. Most great game come from sweat shop, probably thats where they found light of creativity too. These writer are just... sorry not sorry probably not have a good experience to actually tell a story.
Bro I had a client today (I’m a barber) telling me I HAD to go see the new Strangers. Dude said it was “unlike anything he had seen.” this same dude just last week told me that Rebel Moon was the first “actually good” movie of the year…
How to make Cabot Mac n Cheese from the store bought box (I was bored ok?) . Have water boil on stove . When water is boiled, stir noodles for about 12 mins . Drain the noodles when done . Add milk, butter, cheese powder . Mix until it’s chunkless . Stir cheese sauce with noodles . Enjoy!
This is and has always been the reality of the horror genre. The barrier to entry for making horror movies is very low, which means that youd inevitably get an abundance of slop.
Oh my god I watched this movie two days ago with my sister and her friend and in the theatre there were like three other people, everyone was laughing or making fun of the main characters the ENTIRE MOVIE. 😭😭 My sister was so pissed at them she started cussing them out, like genuine rage
You see the Strangers have the ability to steal all their good Karma so while the Strangers have 10/10 plot armor. The main characters act like brain dead cartoon characters.
I had never heard of this movie before, but the news title at 2:04 explained everything: Tarot had the Moonfall writer but Strangers has Renny Harlin, Finland's curse upon Hollywood.
I have never heard my girlfriend say that a movie was bad, she will only ever talk about the positive parts of a movie. She went to the strangers movie with her sister and said it was terrible. I was shocked, the movie has to be absolute dog shit
At this point, horror movies have almost completely rotted to the levels that things such as adult animated shows have. You could explain tarot to me like it was a family guy episode.
@@SJ-Lakui America differs heavily from Town to Town let alone different states. Mt prices are around $13 unless its on the $6 time slot but idk of they still do that
My girlfriend and I watched chapters one last night, and I literally fell asleep as soon as they got the key for the Airbnb and I woke up when they got their truck rammed fell back asleep and woke up in the movie was over
I hope you’ll consider watching smaller movies since big studio horror movies keep disappointing you, “The first omen”, “late night with the devil”, and “I saw the tv glow” are all smaller budget horrors that released this year that are also great and deserve to be seen. Love the content btw.
Horror movies with "stalking in the middle of nowhere" plots REQUIRE characters that are stupid and make illogical decisions because that's the only way that there's a story.
And to think, Renny Harlin once gave us some really good movies like "A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master", "Die Hard 2", "Cliffhanger", "The Long Kiss Goodnight" and "Deep Blue Sea". Did they do the ending too?? The "Because you were home" scene?
That is literally what this awful reboot trilogy is for. They are 100% going to reveal who Tamara is/was. Same goes for the identities of the Strangers. We will find out in this trilogy. It will suck. Who's Tamara? WHO CARES! It was a throw away line to sound creepy. When you try to "dig into the lore" of it, you defang it. It will no longer be scary or creepy. Instead, it will just be stupid. Incredibly stupid.
Oh, you forgot the BEST part, instead of SHOOTING THE STRANGER, the boyfriend gives off a real zinger. "You know how they say your first kill is the hardest? This is my second."
The first movie made no sense. Like the strangers already broke into their house, they're 3 ft behind them ready to swing the axe and then they immediately disappear when the protagonist turns around. Why?
@@braxtonvincent6359 I guess but there's literal shots of them swinging back the axe and the last line of the movie when the strangers get into the truck she says something like "next time it won't be so difficult" like they were being interrupted or something
I was locked in on the 1am fridge call for cold beer but the moment you mentioned an inhaler I deflated and said just let him die cold beer and an inhaler he's not long for the world.
I am perplexed by the decision not to release this film directly to streaming services. It is yet another disappointment in the horror genre, and I must admit that I am not surprised.
I really hate it when horror movies make the good guys have shitty aim unless it’s a friendly, then they can 360 no scope aim bot headshot for some reason
Dude I saw it in theaters because I loved the original but the worst part was that there were some level 10 yappers in front of me. They would literally start screaming at the most unscary things.
I just saw this movie today, it was actually the first nearly packed theater I've seen since 2019, but half the crowd was laughing and making fun of the movie , not super loud just hushed whispers. but most people laughed when they killed Joe, and after the crowd quieted down some dude in the 2nd row from the screen got up, turned around, shushed the theater and shouted DISRESPECTFUL. 10/10 movie experience

I think both sides are right in this in a way, people like Steven Seagal have been making strait trash for decades at this point, but modern movies are definitely getting much worse somehow. Considering how many creators on YT use the ai voices to narrate for them or to write bad fiction stories I'm definitely concerned
@@TheRealStevenSeagalsyeah but AI writings only really popped off in like what? The last 2 years, this problems been goin on since like 2018, got real bad around 2020-2021 now it's just continuing shit movie after shit movie
“They ruined this franchise”

@@Anonymous-73I'm more sad at the fact that the guy didn't get your joke
I rewatched the original and it didn’t hold up nearly as well as I thought it would. BUT the “Because you were home” line in the film STILL sends shivers down my spine 😳
I love that line, it gives all the reason while still having no reason😭 the strangers will always be iconic
I honestly liked 2 better felt for like a Slasher and u felt bad for the characters the first ine I remember being bored waiting for something to happen which did in the last 15 minutes 🙃
“It don’t hold up” dog water opinion
@@tanner201x8 Well, can you give your opinion then? I think it's fantastic on first watch because the realistic situation is very tense. On rewatch it wasn't as fun because the tension is lost since you know how the movie plays out. I don't think rewatch-ability makes a good movie though, so I'll always defend the OG.
@@CharlieCabralosi’ll give my opinion and say that the first movie is written pretty decently. yea certain things happen because scary movie plot, but otherwise the couple isn’t nearly as stupid, the strangers are smarter, actually play tricks, and have personality that isn’t just generic “we’re crazyyy and wear clown masks woahh”. its definitely a long movie for sure, but it doesn’t pad for runtime like this one
“Hey pal, did you just just blow in from stupid-town” is probably one of my favorite phrases from Charlie
The bad horror movie meta is seeing the worst power creep in history this year
and here was me thinking Halloween Ends sucked
look that movie could have been good they had a really cool song Come 2 me by Johnny Goth the new person they were building up was actually kinda cool
then they just decided ah lets kill him
booooo
and Michael Myres dies pretty awfully not painful or gory no just boring
It's gonna be strong for a bit. They can be made cheaply and usually net a profit (even if small)

One thing i always hated about even the first stranger is how unintelligent the victims are and how much plot armor the killers have
Eh I personally don’t think the first one has as much of an issue as this one.
the first one was good tho, and the couple was attractive atleast, the new ones are plain annoying and nubskulls
the couple in the first Strangers was actually pretty smart apart from a few mistakes; everything they tried was just countered by the Strangers toying with them: they destroyed his car, broke their phones and the radio in the shack, ambushed the guy when he had a clean shot on one, getting them paranoid enough to kill dennis reynolds
A trilogy? Seriously!? So many talented writers and directors are fighting for a spot on some random TV show, and this "Moonfall" guy gets a trilogy?
*Apparently I misheard Charley here, he was referring to the director of Tarot. But my point still stands Harlin's track record isn't clean either.
It's not written by the moonfall writer
You misunderstood what he said lol. Tarot was the moonfall guy
Renny Harlin has been bad ever since 2000! His last good movie was "Deep Blue Sea" in 99. To me, his good movies were "A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master", "Die Hard 2", "Cliffhanger", "The Long Kiss Goodnight" and "Deep Blue Sea"
@@LilRocker2005
Agreed, though "Mindhunters" is a guilty pleasure of mine
@@daniboy4153 I think I only saw that one time when it first came out.
all these new movies sound like something you would hear in a bus during a middle school field trip
I sometimes love working at movie theaters cause I get to see the slop that comes out before most people see it.
The problem is that there's nothing new to offer to the table nowadays. Even if you're going to make a movie, at least offer something worth watching, add some twists, or subvert expectations. Do something unique. The problem is that if you get lazy with the same old stuff, it gets tiring.
there is nothing unique every idea that we all could could think of has probably already been done before at least once.
@@Blanktester685 Then at least try to put a spin or put your flavor or style on it. That's what is lacking nowadays.
@Big.Aziza_not.tha_lil_1 Nice try bot. Must be tough spamming the comment section and being programmed with zero original thoughts.
@@Blanktester685as I always say it is about the execution of tropes that make you stand out.
You dont need to even thinking new troupe.
King exile his son to be strong? Thats common troupe, but stop trying to make it more epic. Heck try making it over the top that actually 3 King from different Kingdom do the same yet join mercenary and these Son actually become rivals and whatever happen. Make the character likeable. Use the guilt of time instead guilt of self. Move on.
It just a example, but these day movie looks like mental illness story. Heck they not even build Expectation for the watcher to step on. Most great game come from sweat shop, probably thats where they found light of creativity too. These writer are just... sorry not sorry probably not have a good experience to actually tell a story.

Bro I had a client today (I’m a barber) telling me I HAD to go see the new Strangers. Dude said it was “unlike anything he had seen.”
this same dude just last week told me that Rebel Moon was the first “actually good” movie of the year…
Better raise those prices, just for them, for putting up with their horrible takes

How to make Cabot Mac n Cheese from the store bought box (I was bored ok?)
. Have water boil on stove
. When water is boiled, stir noodles for about 12 mins
. Drain the noodles when done
. Add milk, butter, cheese powder
. Mix until it’s chunkless
. Stir cheese sauce with noodles
. Enjoy!

This is and has always been the reality of the horror genre.
The barrier to entry for making horror movies is very low, which means that youd inevitably get an abundance of slop.
Yep, but there’s a lot of garbage in other genres. Also this is a pretty solid year for horror
My local AMC theatres is playing The Mummy (1999) on the big screen.
These bad horror films got Charles working over time💀

Oh my god I watched this movie two days ago with my sister and her friend and in the theatre there were like three other people, everyone was laughing or making fun of the main characters the ENTIRE MOVIE. 😭😭 My sister was so pissed at them she started cussing them out, like genuine rage
Welcome to Charlie’s channel. The only man who could literally just put “this video is up” as the title and I would still watch it.
Was that the original title
You see the Strangers have the ability to steal all their good Karma so while the Strangers have 10/10 plot armor. The main characters act like brain dead cartoon characters.
Just like with an abomination on Cartoon Network that is called Teen Titans Go, since these main characters of the show are extremely unlikeable?
One of the many reasons why I hate the first movie and I will probably hate this movie
@@Ghostsimp2The characters in the first one weren't nearly this stupid, low bar I know
No way glep spoke English!?!?🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🔥🔥
@@TheGeneratedNarukami06Teen Titans Go has some funny moments this movies have nothing
I had never heard of this movie before, but the news title at 2:04 explained everything: Tarot had the Moonfall writer but Strangers has Renny Harlin, Finland's curse upon Hollywood.
I have never heard my girlfriend say that a movie was bad, she will only ever talk about the positive parts of a movie. She went to the strangers movie with her sister and said it was terrible. I was shocked, the movie has to be absolute dog shit

You can tell that Charlie is passionate about something when his voice keeps getting louder and he's becoming more animated
Basically, insano style
I just rewatched "No country for old men" and it was amazing. So much creativity and a very special sense of uncomfort.
At this point, horror movies have almost completely rotted to the levels that things such as adult animated shows have.
You could explain tarot to me like it was a family guy episode.

My girlfriend and I watched chapters one last night, and I literally fell asleep as soon as they got the key for the Airbnb and I woke up when they got their truck rammed fell back asleep and woke up in the movie was over
Once I saw the commercial, my first thought was "oh I bet Charlie's gonna make a video on how bad this is"
I hope you’ll consider watching smaller movies since big studio horror movies keep disappointing you, “The first omen”, “late night with the devil”, and “I saw the tv glow” are all smaller budget horrors that released this year that are also great and deserve to be seen. Love the content btw.
Late night with the devil was horrible
the first omen was plain bad. late night is being overhyped, all that drama for no payoff (but it was alright)
Every time a movie that does not need a sequel turns into a franchise an angel loses its wings😢
and legs as well probably
so like 99% of media nothing needs a sequel.
You deserve these bots copycat
Strangers 2008 scared the living hell outta me when I was a child
..and me as a grown man. 7.5/10
What I liked about the first two movies was that they both shared the scene where the guy was looking for a gun
So we are not getting moist meter for these movies😭😭
No, these bad shows make charlie drier than the desert
He gave it a 15%
Can’t believe there’s going to be two more parts of this. This is the Horror Rebel Moon basically.
Horror movies with "stalking in the middle of nowhere" plots REQUIRE characters that are stupid and make illogical decisions because that's the only way that there's a story.
And to think, Renny Harlin once gave us some really good movies like "A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master", "Die Hard 2", "Cliffhanger", "The Long Kiss Goodnight" and "Deep Blue Sea".
Did they do the ending too?? The "Because you were home" scene?
That line is in the trailer
I almost wish a movie was made that told us who Tamara was. It's just such a weirdly specific name. Makes you wonder is she important?
It's honestly better if we don't know. But this trilogy will probably reveal the significance of it unfortunately
That is literally what this awful reboot trilogy is for. They are 100% going to reveal who Tamara is/was. Same goes for the identities of the Strangers. We will find out in this trilogy. It will suck.
Who's Tamara? WHO CARES! It was a throw away line to sound creepy. When you try to "dig into the lore" of it, you defang it. It will no longer be scary or creepy. Instead, it will just be stupid. Incredibly stupid.
Oh, you forgot the BEST part, instead of SHOOTING THE STRANGER, the boyfriend gives off a real zinger. "You know how they say your first kill is the hardest? This is my second."
The first movie made no sense. Like the strangers already broke into their house, they're 3 ft behind them ready to swing the axe and then they immediately disappear when the protagonist turns around. Why?
First one was pretty mediocre, You're Next was much better
@@iAmPimmiCueYou're Next is literally a twist on movies like the Strangers... It's like saying "Spaceballs is better than Star Wars"
@@Gojiracity at this point Space Balls is better than Star Wars tbh
@@braxtonvincent6359 I guess but there's literal shots of them swinging back the axe and the last line of the movie when the strangers get into the truck she says something like "next time it won't be so difficult" like they were being interrupted or something

@@TheKNIGHTELFMOHAWK They're going to release a new film 14 years later, and it's going to flop hard.
I am perplexed by the decision not to release this film directly to streaming services. It is yet another disappointment in the horror genre, and I must admit that I am not surprised.
I really hate it when horror movies make the good guys have shitty aim unless it’s a friendly, then they can 360 no scope aim bot headshot for some reason
"Ay, pal. You just blow in from stupid town?"
Dude I saw it in theaters because I loved the original but the worst part was that there were some level 10 yappers in front of me. They would literally start screaming at the most unscary things.
"Yeah ma'am, I see the door is busted open but there is no one here. What are you smoking?"
The scariest part of this is that this is someone's favourite movie
Charlie could literally talk about drywall and watching paint dry and I would still enjoy the video
Now can we get a sequel to Martyrs when they tell you what the girl said to the old lady
man i love the videos where you just record the whole thing rather than throwing in 80% stream clip with an intro ... thank you
Damn this awful Strangers movie is outcracking Cr1tikal's vocal cords harder than US Immigration or Xbox.
"And starts missing every shot because it's a horror movie"
My friend in Christ it is a S H O T G U N.
I just saw this movie today, it was actually the first nearly packed theater I've seen since 2019, but half the crowd was laughing and making fun of the movie , not super loud just hushed whispers. but most people laughed when they killed Joe, and after the crowd quieted down some dude in the 2nd row from the screen got up, turned around, shushed the theater and shouted DISRESPECTFUL. 10/10 movie experience
Today was one of the worst days in my life. But charlie always distracts me from the shittyness
They aren’t STRANGERS if you give them origin stories.
$10??? My theater charges $15 plus tax 😂
Mine charges $7
I loved when John Stranger (the space marine) said "It's strange-ing time!" and strangered all over the place.
The original one is an absolute cult classic, so it’s a huge shame to see Hollywood ruin it by making this slop.
The first one can never be outdone, it has the Golden God himself
Tbh, I was expecting him to talk about the new Assassin's Creed.

That whole AC drama is dumb. Assassin's Creed has never been historically accurate. Nothing wrong with a black samurai.
Imagine the cops rolling up to the house and just like "What the fuck"
52 days... dude... as a film student I can't imagine getting one film done very well in 52 days. To think that a whole trilogy was filmed in 52...
That is 17,3 day's for each film if my calulations are correct. They had 17,3 day's to film one of those movies.
And that's not counting the time to sleep (which i would argue they slept around 7-8 maybe 6 hours during production) and breaks.
I assumed this would be about Shogun getting renewed.
Ofc shogun would get renewed it had massive viewership and had 100s of 4/5 star reviews
Oh that's cool.
@@MrLightsidefrom what I’ve heard people are worried about it getting renewed because there’s no more source material for it, so anything new will have to be written from scratch with no existing story to rely on.
thank you for covering this. i was intrigued by the trailer (after semi-liking the first one & the second one being a snoozefest) and now i am not anymore
