Strangers

Now this is a flick.
5 reels of fun.
The Strangers begins with James proposing to Liv Tyler but she says she isn't ready yet.  He's frusterated but still says "your my girl."  It's like 4 in the morning and there's a knock at the door.  They answer it and it's a little girl asking for someone that doesn't live there. 
Shortly later Liv Tyler runs out of cigarettes so James goes into town to get some more.  Then the crazy shit begins as one of the best scenes of the year happens. 

From the movie poster.  This scene extends very well and the suspense in so many scenes is awesome.  Horror ensues throughout the last 3 reels of the movie and it's basically a cat and mouse game with the couple and the 3 strangers outside, one guy with a potato sack over his head and a suit (I'm so being him for halloween)  and 2 girls with really freaky masks on.

This movie was short but if it was any longer I think it wouldn't have been as good.  Solid horror and suspense all around and one of the best scenes that made me jump ridiculous style occurs when she attempts to hide in a closet.  I won't give it away you'll have to see it yourself.  You will jump.
The only downside I had was at the very end they could have ended it sooner than they did.  There were an additional 2-3 scenes that weren't needed.
9/10
Best horror flick of the year.
