About two months ago, I finally got a chance to catch Them (Ils), which was definitely one of the best genre films I’ve seen in a while. It gave me that palm-sweating, tension wrought film I’ve been waiting a while for (can’t even remember the last time I could’ve complimented a film as such) while having strong performances and having a great style. After watching Them, the first thing that popped into my mind was, “Whatever happened to that Strangers flick? That’s a remake of this, right?”
It’s true, these two films are basically the same. I’d be hard pressed to find someone that couldn’t see that, let alone feel that they were both inspired by the same “true story.” And while I do feel Them is a far better film all around, that doesn’t leave The Strangers without its merits.
