ok , Liv Tyler , so she was OK in LotR but can she cut it? According to The Strangers I would have to say yes. She does a convincing job and carries a tense and often jumping shocker.
The movie is the generic story of deserted folk being stalked by nutters but pulls it off (mostly) with a reasonably OK run of links which take the characters from scene to scene and fright to fright.
Was I convinced - nah , did I jump - oh yeh . overall - its a very sparse storyline but well performed and filmed. (The soundtrack is interesting and very well used also)
