"THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 2" (2025) Sends Shivers This September!
Trilogies are all the rage in horror, and last year Lionsgate rebooted “The Strangers” with part one of a three-part film series (read our review here) much to the surprise of many of fans. While there were only two films in the series before, the idea of completely retconning the whole thing seemed strange, but with veteran director Renny Harlin at the helm, it offered some hope that this wasn’t a misguided move. Whether the first film succeeded or not really depends on your perspective, with a lot of critics and fans panning it, while others defending it on the merit that this was the first of three and the thing should be taken as a whole rather than just in parts.
Regardless of how you feel, the second film in the series, “The Strangers: Chapter 2” is hitting theaters on September 26, 2025, just before the Halloween season kicks off, and we have some minor details for you below!
