✔ Introduction
Hello Friends, I hope you are doing fine and are having a good time on bitlanders. Today I have come up again with my new blog with the title of "Hollywood Movie Review - The Strangers: Prey at Night". Friends, this blog is about a recently released Hollywood Horror and Thriller Genres film "The Strangers: Prey at Night". This movie is a sequel to the first version released in 2008 with the title of The Strangers. The story of the movie revolves around three masked killers who kill their preys at night and cause a lot of panic and horror in the town. This movie was directed by Johannes Roberts whereas the movie was produced by Jalen Headchop and Wayne Marc Godfrey. The screen play for the movie was written by Bryan Bertino who directed the first version back in 2008. The movie was produced under the supervision of The Fyzz Facility, a British Film Production and Financing Company.

Ten years is a long gap between a movie and its sequel, especially for a horror movie. That gap, though, seems as if it was enough time for the filmmakers of "The Strangers: Prey at Night" to get it right.
The 2008 original, written and directed by Bryan Bertino, never quite had the courage of its convictions until its bleak-beyond-bleak ending. The problem, though, was that the ending came out of nowhere. Here was another home-invasion movie, in which it seemed as if the villains were simply pranking a couple for an extended period of time (one of the victims of the invasion was the only one to kill anyone until the climax). When the masked antagonists revealed their true natures in the final minutes, it came across as a shock in the worst possible way.

✔ Movie Plot And Review
The movie begins in night scene in Kentucky, the United States of America as a van comes and stops by a trailer which was parked in a secluded place. Three masked persons come out of the car and inside the trailer, a young woman wakes up as she hears the music coming out of the car. She suddenly comes across Dollface who straight away kills her without giving her a proper chance to ask as to what she was doing inside the trailer. In the meantime, another masked girl who is known as Pin-Up Girl in the movie goes to the bed and lies down there right next to the slain woman's husband. The movie progresses forward as a young couple Mike and his wife Cindy are about to leave for a trip along with their daughter whose name is Kinsey in the movie.
