“The Strangers: Chapter 1” (*** out of four) was a stylishly done continuation of the horror series about a young couple (Madelaine Petsch and Ryan Bown) whose car breaks down in an eerie small town and are forced to spend the night in a remote cabin and panic ensues when three strangers descend on the cabin and attempt to kill them without any reason or motive. More-or-less a remake, rather than a follow-up, of the last entries but having said that it’s well-made and has its quote of jumps and scares. A definite change-of-pace for action director Renny Harlin and one of his better efforts in years.
