The Strangers: Chapter 3 Review | Are We Rooting for the Wrong Character?

In this episode of The Fear Review, William and Amy break down The Strangers: Chapter 3, the final entry in Renny Harlin’s trilogy — and the one that sparked the most debate between us. After revisiting The Strangers (2008), the contrast is impossible to ignore. The original thrives on slow dread, eerie background tension, and mood. Chapter 3 takes the characters and lore of that film and pushes them through a modern horror lens — louder jump scares, bloodier kills, and faster Strangers. And then things get… complicated. 🎬 In this episode, we discuss: • Why this worked better for us than Chapter 2 • Modern horror vs. mood horror — and what gets lost in the shift • Whether it’s messed up to sympathize with the killer (Amy makes her case) • Why the main character might be the worst driver in horror history • The psychological arc at the center of the trilogy • Sound design, soundtrack, and theater experience ⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: We give a clear verbal warning before diving into full spoilers. 🎧 Prefer audio?
