*******Six Out of Ten******
Nine producers were employed in the making of this film. I've seen this trend with several other terribly produced horror films that I reviewed recently. Is this a recent trend in the film business, or what? Because it's a bad idea. And it's evident in "The Strangers" that more than one person produced it, because the film really has no linear balance. There are a lot of great things going for "The Strangers" in the beginning, but that goes out the window as the film progresses towards the middle and ending. So basically, what could've been a 8 or 9 star movie, ended up being a 5 or 6 star movie. The bottom line is that nine producers and six production companies (Rogue Pictures, Intrepid Pictures, Vertigo Entertainment, Mandate Pictures, and Mad Hatter Entertainment) insure that a film WILL NOT have a unique and singular artistic vision. Perhaps a better coordinated production could re-do this film based on the first half and completely throw out the latter half.
