The strangers

A last minute decision while Ikea-ing with Monkey on Friday - I'm going to watch 'The Strangers' with Ruru and Karkar. It's been long since I last watched a horror/thriller.

-Saves the craps before the movie-

We went in late. Just 10 mins late. The main characters were both plastered with disappointments when we walked in. Something had happened (-shrugs-). What was the show about? (-shrugs-). A horror movie with ghosts and EOO? A thriller with people running with chainsaw? (-shrugs-)

It appears the show belonged to the second genre.

-Saves the spoilers-

Questions filled me when the show ended. It was like a big 'HUH?? what happened and why sia???'

Until Ruru told me that it was inspired by a true event that all these questions were solved. Or should I say, they were never solved. No one, knew what happened in that particular murder. Sheet man.. Damn the first 10mins.

The show did provide quite some scares here and then though. As the movie catchphrase goes:
We tell ourselves there's nothing to fear
But sometimes we're wrong
