 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here So we're gonna be talking about Renny Harlan's upcoming The Strangers trilogy in this video today specifically The Strangers chapter one since we got the trailer today this morning and Before I get into the trailer I want to circle back to that poster we got yesterday So the Strangers chapter one poster said as a tagline They don't need a reason but that's funny because I recall Renny Harlan teasing that this trilogy explores The who what and why they left everyone a nerd from the first film and why it's become such an iconic Slasher film home invasion movie too Now he didn't explicitly state my trilogy is going to reveal who the Strangers are and why they operate like this However, it's safe to assume such a thing will happen based on his words in an interview back in October And also just because of this recent tagline in the trailer So with this tagline I'm like so are we going to explore the reasons are we not and thus I'm more intrigued to see this because now I'm confused but in a good way now That was just off the poster alone. Do you guys want to see The Strangers explored? Well Now that the trailer is out it doesn't look like we have a choice in the matter because The Strangers chapter one trailer has dropped and Promises that will be witnessing how The Strangers became The Strangers the trailer was slightly underwhelming I'm not gonna lie and none of the nods to the original moved me in any way There's a couple I spotted like the kids with bikes and white shirts Tamra's the Tamra's home line the couple making out and instead of because you were home We hear because you're here. So the trailer wasn't bad I'm just not any more excited than I already was Madeline Pash looks like she's gonna kill it as a final girl The glimpses of the town gave off the impression. They know what's going to happen to this couple So I'm intrigued by that aspect Richard break is briefly shown as a cop I believe and that's nice since he was rumored to appear my biggest takeaway from the trailer Is this seems to be a prequel because in the past one star a part of the trilogy did state that it's in the same universe as the Others, I just finding out why is going to rub some the wrong way And it seems like the point of the original is being missed with this film if you depending on how you executed because if you don't Exposition dump your audience to death with who what why and why they operate this way or how they became the strangers as the trailer Promises that we will get to witness then you should be at least passable as a film in the strangers universe I don't think it's really necessary to explicitly tell us How they became the strangers why they do what they do But if it's done and portrayed and communicated in a way to me as a viewer That lets me draw conclusions without spelling it out as it's actually this or with this one specific thing Then again, you should be fine because I can at least take a step back Examine what's happening in the film and then make logical predictions or assumptions draw rational conclusions That this is what set them off and I guess also don't make it so obvious It could be a collection of things that set these people off But as long as you don't spell it out to me then I think we'll be all set to go Did you guys like this trailer? Did you guys not like this trailer again? I just found the trailer to be rather underwhelming There were some cool shots in it and again like I stated Madeline Pesh looks like she's going to give a phenomenal performance Going off of Renny Harlan's previous comments as well I think it's safe to assume she's gonna make it out of this film alive and we'll be seeing her in the Strangers chapter 2 in the Strangers chapter 3 her boyfriend on the other hand is not gonna make it out alive But I think she's gonna be getting the treatment that Liv Tyler should have gotten if the strangers turned into what it is right now As a franchise back in the day when it first dropped in 2008 I think Madeline Pesh is just being set up to be given the treatment of what Liv Tyler should have gotten Well, you guys let me know what you think about this down in the comments section below Did you like the trailer? Did you not like the trailer? What was your favorite moment from the trailer? Are you upset that they seem to be going in the direction of? Exploring how the Strangers became the Strangers why are why not and do you agree with me that if they take a less is more approach They can still be passable.
