Sarah and I wrapped our annual scary movie-watching experience with the film "The Strangers."

Released earlier this year, the movie sort of came and went with little fanfare. While not the best horror movie I've seen, it's a decent flick. Lots of freaky moments.

"The Strangers" is allegedly based on a true story, but a quick Google search proves that to be quite a stretch. Basically, a mom and her family were killed in a cabin maybe 20 or 30 years ago (I'm too lazy to search it again, and we watched this on Thursday so I've forgotten some details). Anyway, in the movie version, it's a man and his girlfriend who are the victims. They're attacked at a house, and that's seriously the closest connection I could see.

The couple is played by that Ben guy from "Felicity" and the girl was played by the better half of those old Aerosmith videos (Liv Tyler, for those who don't know). Well, they get attacked over and over. The attackers wear masks and never explain why they are attacking. The couple do stupid things over and over ... you get the point.

So pretty scary, but not the best. Oh well. Maybe we'll have better luck next year.
