The Strangers: Prey at Night | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Perhaps one day Prey at Night will find itself invited to join the ranks of beloved trash horror, but for now, this is another shameless sequel with nothing going for it other than its name - and even that isn't much.

Although a cine-literate reverence for the history of the genre is laudable, these homages are so overt as to distract from the tension and the scares.

The Strangers: Prey at Night drips with 80's influences. From its synth score to the Stephen King font of its opening title cards, the film capitalizes on the audience's nostalgia for its slasher predecessors.

Instead of any sort of craftsmanship, originality, or suspense, the filmmakers fall back on the '80s nostalgia wagon with nothing to add.

Prey by Night...takes everything about the original and feeds it through the Generic Slasher Film meat grinder...an insult to its own predecessor.
