Where the HELL have you been?! I feel as though you've dropped off the face of HDC. COME BACK!

Anyway.
I agree - I thought that it started out strong, but there were far too many scenes where the killers were obviously building the scene for the AUDIENCE, not for the victims; it's hard to explain exactly what I mean. You describe it as "building tension," but I thought that it was drawn out and more unbelievable than suspenseful at times.
Honestly, watching movies like Ils and Inside raised the bar for me for home invasion films... I was hoping that Strangers would be up to that level... But alas.
