Critics Consensus

Lacking the chilling suspense of the original The Strangers and proving to be just unpleasant, this Chapter 1 closes the book on itself.

Time Out

As for the strangers, all they need to be is terrifying, a task at which they consistently excel. Just make sure to stay through the credits. That is, if you haven’t already rushed home to bolt the doors.

Rated: 3/5

Personally, nihilistic horror hits me as more unpleasant and depressing than engagingly scary. Such bleakness bleeds out tension, making for a remake that is merciless but also exhaustingly familiar.

The Strangers no longer looks like something that can happen to anyone, but rather something that can only happen to someone in a Strangers movie.

Not bold enough, it wasn't different enough, it wasn't exciting enough.

The Strangers: Chapter 1 is a generic and boring slasher with a fundamental misunderstanding of its source material.

What a waste. No reason for its existence whatsoever. Almost a remake to a way better film. And this is supposed to be the first in a trilogy?! No thanks

It wasn’t the worst I’ve seen. There are a lot of things I would have changed, especially the ending.

Not a whole lot different from the original. A lot of stereotypical people in the town where the movie starts out. Honestly I had trouble staying awake.
