With Lionsgate’s highly anticipated release of “The Strangers: Chapter 1” in theaters on May 17, the studio is leaving no stone unturned in its promotional efforts.
The infamous trio of masked slashers – Pinup Girl, Dollface, and the Man in the Mask – have been haunting home security cameras across the nation! From eerie doorbell cam footage of alleged encounters to spine-chilling sightings outside gas stations and even the Manhattan Criminal Court House, these masked figures are causing a stir.
Videos and images capturing these unnerving moments have flooded social media platforms like TikTok, Twitter, and Nextdoor. From New York City to Los Angeles and everywhere in between, no location is safe from their sinister presence.
Based on the cult horror franchise that began in 2008, “The Strangers: Chapter 1” follows Petsch and Gutierrez as they embark on a cross-country journey, only to encounter unspeakable horrors when their car breaks down in Venus, Oregon. Directed by Renny Harlin (“Cliffhanger,” “Deep Blue Sea”), the film promises a relentless and terrifying experience, reminiscent of the original spine-chilling installment.
With a script by Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland (“The Freak Brothers,” “Due Date”), and Lionsgate handling worldwide distribution, “The Strangers: Chapter 1” is poised to deliver a night of terror that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats.

4.5 Hour MEGA CUT of All 3 Movie Parts Planned
The project originally began as one massive script before being split up into three feature films, but could we ever see this new trilogy united once more in one big ass supercut?
Speaking with Variety for the aforementioned piece that went up today, both Lionsgate executive Geobert Abboud and Renny Harlin suggested that idea is being actively explored.
Abboud tells the site when asked about a 4.5 hour Director’s Cut that there is “some version of that we’ve discussed at a high level that we’d like to see at some point.”
Director Renny Harlin chimes in, “It’s in our heads. This is definitely what we want to do. We want to cut together the full arc.”
“We know exactly how to do it, then we’ll create a movie and see who are those diehard fans who will come to the movie theatre for four and a half hours,” he adds. “I don’t know if we need to have an intermission so people can get some food and go to the bathroom, but I definitely want to have that event and see if people take four and a half hours of dread and fear and terror and despair.”
