Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Strangers: Chapter 1 follows Maya and Ryan, a young couple moving across the country to start a new life together. While on their road trip, their car breaks down, forcing them to spend the night in an isolated cabin in Venus, Oregon. However, while at the cabin, three masked strangers with dark intent intend to spend a bloody night terrorizing the couple.
Screen Rant interviewed The Strangers: Chapter 1 stars Froy Gutierrez and Madelaine Petsch. Gutierrez discussed the relationship between their characters, leaning into the slowburn tension, and how he watched the original movie. Petsch explained why this is one of her favorite horror movies, how this sets up a larger story for the sequels, and how her Riverdale character might fare in The Strangers: Chapter 1.
What really stood out to me watching it was how much you pay attention to what's happening on screen, where you're focused on Liv Tyler and when you're focused on the characters, but also it trains you to pay attention to what's not happening directly on screen. That was my favorite scary movie of all time. It really was. It's one of those things where nothing really scares me in scary movies except for hyperrealism and this feels like it could actually happen. Froy Gutierrez: Maya and Ryan are a really solid couple of five years. They're long term, they're in it together, and they've had some communication issues at the front of the movie that they're sorting out throughout the film, but they also share a secret language.
It's interesting because when you go back and rewatch one, after you watch two and three, you'll see the connections that are made between Maya and the strangers that we've kind of built into movie one after she's pushed beyond her breaking point, time and time and time again. The kind of centrifugal question of her character is who is she left with?
Madelaine Petsch: I think it was really important to feel like you were living with the characters in those moments.
