Haley Bennett holding a bat in Kristy
The Big Picture Hot take: there's no such thing as too many home-invasion horror movies. Sometimes, they just hit the spot. While you're gearing up for The Strangers: Chapter 1, a reboot of 2008's menacing instant classic The Strangers, now's the perfect time to reach back a decade and catch one you might have missed. Kristy, a 2014 horror/thriller that flew mostly under the radar, hits all the chords that a relatively short and easily digestible genre member should.
Release Date August 7, 2014 Director Olly Blackburn Cast Haley Bennett , Ashley Greene , Lucas Till , Chris Coy , Mike Seal Runtime 86 Minutes Writers Anthony Jaswinski What Is 'Kristy' About? Justine is attending college with the help of financial aid, so when everyone else is heading home for Thanksgiving, she decides to save the money and stick it out on campus.
Related Here's Why 'The Strangers' Reboot Needs to Be a Trilogy Renny Harlin and producer Courtney Solomon explain why it has to be a trilogy, how EP Madelaine Petsch helped shape the story, and tons more. The most lasting impact of home-invasion horror is the reliability of the threat. While some films use supernatural danger like demonic entities, ghosts, or witchcraft, these flicks require very little suspension of disbelief.
