counting down our picks for the top 5
scariest moments from The Strangers

more great content for this list we’re
looking at the most spine-tingling
scenes from bryan bertino as the
strangers this should go without saying
but a spoiler warning is now in effect
while not the goriest of movies some of
the upcoming scenes are violent in
nature so please be prepared number 5
stabbing going out with a bang this
horror film definitely does not take the
easy way out
after being hunted for most of the night
Kristen and James wake up to find
themselves tied and completely at the
mercy of the three masked intruders
despite Liv Tyler’s tearful pleas to let
them go the strangers carve up the
couple to bring the story to a rather
nihilistic conclusion while the attack
is not shown head-on Kristen screams are
more than enough to paint the painful
picture
number four stranger behind the window
finally a modern horror movie that knows
how to properly use a jump-scare
approaching the half hour mark up until
this point the strangers prioritize
creating a tense atmosphere over
straightforward scares with Kristen
alone at home and the masked intruders
playing mind games all that pent-up
frustration is released in one quick
explosive moment serving as the first
close up of the villains this jump scare
is when Kristen realized that the
strangers were not just pranksters and
that she was in for a long and terrible
night number three
James accidentally shoots Mike depending
on whether or not you’re familiar with
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia or not
this is either the scariest or funniest
sequence in the movie as James’s best
friend Mike arrives in the middle of the
night to pick up his buddy after his
cars attacked Mike investigates the
ransacked house to try and find James or
Kristen putting aside Mike’s rather daft
decision to not repeatedly call out
their names Dennis Reynolds turns a
corner and gets a shotgun blast to the
face from James number two because you
were home
yeah okay this might feel like a trailer
line but it really works in the context
of the story taking place a moment
before Kristen and James get stabbed Liv
Tyler finally gets an answer to the
question we have all been wondering why
are they doing this
their reasoning proves to be rather
straightforward the strangers are not
acting out some big scheme or grand plan
no they attacked Kristen and James
simply because they happen to be there
they are opportunistic monsters who only
want to kill
because here a home number one masked
stranger appears in the background the
scariest scene in the entire movie and
also one of the most understated until
this chilling scene the strangers were
acting more like annoying children than
killers as they repeatedly rang the
doorbell and said some creepy lines
frustrated and scared
Kristen wanders the home alone when a
masked intruder suddenly appears in the
background
the stranger stalks his clueless victim
watching her every move from the shadows
and disappears before Kristen notices
him
there is nothing scarier than feeling
like you are being watched James do you
