Ok, who has seen The Strangers 2: Prey at Night? The first one was very unsettling and scared me to death. I don't always need a happy ending. Have you ever seen the Dutch version of The Vanishing? So different than the Americanized one.

I'm trying to decide if I want to watch Strangers 2.

Pros: I like Christina Hendricks.
It looks creepy.
Strangers still haunts me and makes me check under beds and in closets before going to sleep.

Cons: It's a sequel. It is as good, nearly as good, or better than the first?
It takes place in a trailer park?
Christina Hendricks screams a lot. Does it get annoying?
The lighting seems darker than the first movie and I don't want it to be so dark that I can only hear and not see the action on the screen. Is it too dark to follow well?

I liked the first one too for the same reasons but sadly the sequel didn’t live up to expectations. It’s not creepy, just bloody and gory. I didn’t think it was too dark & I don’t think Christina Hendricks was annoying. This is my review:

Thanks, Sarah. I appreciate your opinion on this. I'll put it on my movie to watch (eventually) list instead of my gotta see it list.

It's interesting to me that I liked this book so much more than Fifty Shades. Partially because I think that Christian is a far more interesting character than Ana - he has much more of a backstory. Maybe it's because I relate to him in a lot of ways. I've read reviews that think this wasn't a good book in any regard, that E.L. James clearly doesn't know how to write as if she were a man, and I disagree. I know a Christian-like man and reading this novel, it was like being in his head too.

However, I have the same issue that I had with Fifty Shades in the dialogue. I do not know a single American that says, "I'm going to have a shower." I'm not sure why that infuriates me so much, but alas, it does. I am anxious to read Darker and the next Fifty Shades.
