This is so fun! Thanks for sharing! I love a good horror film, and those that I've seen on this list are top-notch. Seeing The Strangers on here reminded me of two other films that had the hair standing up on my neck--David Moreau and Xavier Palud's Them and Michael Hanake's Funny Games--the 1997 version (and actually Benny's Video, too--yikes!). I watched Funny Games alone late one night while I was staying with my folks...not only did I not sleep that night, I don't think I opened my front door to a stranger for at least 5 years after that. Eek!
Those are great selections! Been a while since I’ve seen them. The Poughkeepsie Tapes is another that got a very limited release and only became notable in the last several years that I think pairs well with The Strangers. And I totally agree...I still have a hard time answering the door for strangers, especially because I live out in the country...with no streetlights!
We watched The Strangers last night and it was RIVETING! Totally our kind of horror film. Nuanced and spooky, understated and eerie and mysterious. Loved it! Thank you!
Oh, we haven't seen Them, Funny Games or Benny's Video, so 3 more to add to our queue! Thank you for the recommendations. Tonight's going to be a horror fest at our house!
Unless we've just ordered a pizza or Chinese food, Ryan and I are highly unlikely to open our front door to a stranger for any reason whatsoever! (In fact, we don't answer the door to our to friends and family unless they've called in advance and we are expecting them. That's just how we roll.)
This Zach Shaw is so well-spoken and intelligent. You can tell he really knows what he’s talking about.

Ditto! The Strangers was a truly excellent horror film. Thanks for recommending that one. "Because you were home." *shudder*
Chills every time!
