The Strangers: Chapter 3 Rezensionen & Wertungen
- stiky7. März 2026Please, just stop. Don't do it again.
- Zach Henson8. März 2026Holy shit JD Vance is baghead lolololololololoollooolooool
- Paul Walshvor 1 TagIt's a bad film. The themes are muddled, the script is ham-fisted, and the actions of some characters are unexplainable. I did not expect high art, but I definitely expected more for this franchise and from director Renny Harlin. A severe disappointment.
- parcolan6. März 2026Love the music 😁👍🏻
- Hipster ZOMBIE9. Februar 2026MADELAINE PETSCH DESERVES BETTER! As one of the last few true redheads in Hollywood,Petsch deserves better than a sequel trilogy that overstayed its welcome after the first film. As stated in the first two entries into this updated trilogy, when you peel back the mystique of the Strangers by delving into their less than inspired backstories you destroy a big part of what makes them scary and unique. In this final chapter, the scarecrow tries to recruit Maya (Petsch) and it’s a long drawn out will she or won’t she join the killers or will she take them out? Honestly after the first half hour I was pretty much checked out because the story literally goes no where and thinks it’s way smarter than what it actually is. The best part about this film is that the story is finally over.

- adey1008. März 2026Better than 2 but still not as good as the first film
- Dan The Man Kearney10. März 2026(It Is Sadly. Really Just as Bad as They say. Don't Listen To The Rest Of The Sheep. Make Decisions For Yourself) Since they copy & paste these shit ass films, I'll steal their playbook & copy/paste as well. Here is my copy/paste of my previous reviews. btw the whole "Stranger Remake" Franchise is a solid (1/10-2/10). Also the fact the director made or helped on good classic films before such as (Cliffhanger & Die Hard 2), to then make these, man the fall off is crazy. Really who tf is funding you dawg, let me know so I can ask him for some since he loves throwing it away so badly. (1/10 - Mid ass franchise nobody wanted to come back but lets drops over 20 mil to make 3 of em) Garbage PT1 This never needed to be made again. I watched the original years back, which that was an "Okay" movie at best, but then at that time was a cool concept. And why did they make another? To waste money, that's why (8.5 Million Dollars to be factual). This movie has every single movie trope to it: dumb people, even dumber killers. The amount of money that is wasted yearly to make trash movies is just disgusting with how many people around the world are homeless and starving, and yet we spend MILLIONS on trash shit like this. It baffles me everyday. (1/10 - "The Strangers Who Asked For A Sequel 2") Garbage PT2 Do not make a 3rd. This "Franchise" of Remakes you are doing is garbage, typical Hollywood dumpster turds. Just stop wasting money and move on. Nobody cares about the strangers or who TF they are. F their lore. OH I MADE A REMAKE OF THE FIRST STRANGERS FROM 2008 THAT BARELY ANYONE REMEMBERS ANYWAY WORTH $8.5 MILLION AND PEOPLE HATE IT. LETS MAKE A 2ND ONE AGAIN FOR ANOTHER $8.5 MILLION. OHH THEY HATE THAT ONE TOO, LETS DO IT AGAIN. LETS MAKE A 3RD ONE FOR A TOTAL OF $25.5 MILLION OF STRAIGHT CLICHE DOGSHIT. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3rd review incoming. I will explain more about how I feel about this movie after I watch the 3rd and hopefully the last one, sadly.) I do not hate this franchise. It is bad, but not terrible. I am being very harsh; I'm just annoyed as you see above. I have seen actually very, very bad movies before in my time. These are just cliché and typical and goofy, but not terrible. Let me make this clear. I am just sad in this terrible world we live in. With how much money you have, to still not learn. To once again fail on this. To make a revive of a forgotten idea, but to just do what every other film producer does and make cliché films, stupid scripts, the characters in the film being absolute fools, along with the killers being just as impaired mentally. It makes me sad. When you get a chance like this, why not do more with it? Do something special. We are so uninspired today in this world. Everyone and everything feels the fucking same. There is no difference nowadays, no line between a good modern film and an okay modern film. They all feel subpar to what we know we could be getting. 25 million was spent on this, and for what? Bad reviews and another "horror flick" in a long line of generic horror films. After watching the film, my word still stands. Only part I like about this was when they tried making her one of them and showed you how they operate—that was it. The rest was more of the same, pretty boring & mid. PLEASE STOP AND DON'T MAKE MORE JUST END IT
- achal09. März 2026Terrible!
- Zokkiie7. März 2026Shitefest finale. Instead of going out with a bang, it just limps to the finish. The tension’s barely there, the characters are painfully dull, and most of their decisions feel forced just to move the plot along. Even the “intense” moments fall flat when things like a rubbery axe blade wobble right on screen. Add some CGI straight out of the Superman-moustache hall of shame and whatever atmosphere the film tries to build just collapses. Feels cheap, rushed, and pointless for a finale. Honestly, 1 star — generously.
- cultfilmliker7. Februar 2026Sponsored by Bulleit Whiskey ™️ Listen, I love Richard Brake, but even he can’t do anything to save this franchise. They can stop making these now. Maybe I should stop going on opening weekend…. lol that she put on her seatbelt then didn’t look at the road the whole time she was driving Derivative as hell with an unbelievably cheesy soundtrack. Seriously taking away all of the wrong parts of RZ’s oeuvre Hey, at least it was better than the last one….marginally Currently Ranked #8/8 in 2026 Ranked
- jackmeat20. März 2026My quick rating - 4.2/10. If you walked into The Strangers: Chapter 3 expecting the franchise to suddenly evolve into something deeper, smarter, or even coherent. That would be a NOPE. This is one of those “commit to the bit or suffer the consequences” situations. And the bit here? Apparently, take everything that made The Strangers work, toss it out the window, and replace it with lore nobody asked for. Picking up right where Chapter 2 left off (after a quick detour into yet another dramatic reference to the Tamara killing, because clearly we haven’t heard about that enough), Renny Harlin wastes no time diving into “mythology.” And by mythology, I mean awkward flashbacks desperately trying to convince you this family of masked weirdos is terrifying on a deeper level. It doesn’t land. At all. If anything, it feels like the film is trying to gaslight you into thinking this was the plan all along. Spoiler: it absolutely doesn’t feel like it. We’re back with Maya (Madelaine Petsch), our designated Final Girl, stuck in what’s now apparently a cycle of violence instead of the classic “wrong place, wrong time” terror the franchise built its identity on. She gets forced to overact scenes since there is no tension written in. Meanwhile, her sister Debbie (Rachel Shenton) and brother-in-law Howard (George Young) roll into town with a private detective, poking around like they’re looking for those missing kids from Weapons. Seriously, half their scenes feel like a low-budget crime drama where everyone in town is suspicious purely because the script says so. I feel bad for Gregory, the Scarecrow played by Gabriel Basso. To be fair, he is actually one of the few things working here. If you’ve seen him in The Night Agent, this is a sharp left turn. He’s got a genuinely intimidating presence, right up until the movie decides he should make decisions so baffling you’ll want to yell at your screen. Leaving Maya alone with a shotgun? Bold strategy. Let’s see how that plays out. Now, about that “most brutal chapter yet” marketing. Yeah, that’s some bulls*!t. The kills are actually less bloody than before, which is an interesting choice while promoting that tagline. It’s like ordering the spiciest thing on the menu and getting bread. There are practical effects sprinkled in, which look solid, but then the film caps it off with a CGI blood splatter that feels like someone in post production got bored. Consistency? Never heard of it. What really hurts The Strangers: Chapter 3 is the tone shift. The original appeal was simple and effective. Random, senseless terror. No motives, no explanations, just pure nightmare fuel. Here, the film tries to rewrite that into something more structured, and in doing so, strips away the very thing that made it unsettling. It’s not scarier, it’s just confusing. Technically, Harlin nails the production side. It looks good, sounds good, and the atmosphere is there…in theory. But atmosphere without tension is just empty space, and this movie has plenty of that. Scenes drag, scares fizzle, and by the time it’s all over, it feels less like a climax and more like the franchise quietly ducking out the door, hoping you won't notice. I did. In the end, this trilogy doesn’t go out with a bang. It limps off like it forgot why it existed. And that is the scariest part.
- chrismuraglia15. März 2026Complete waste of time! What the hell happens to Renny Harlan???
- ricomckee14. März 2026Continues the horrible trilogy but earns extra points because it finaly ends. This could have been great. Instead... the whole trilogy is dull. Forgetable. Boring.
- Josh C14. März 2026I always finish what I start, even this terrible trilogy. This is by far the best installment out of the three which could be just because I knew it was finally the end or because the storytelling was a tick above the other two...who knows. The major problem with the rebooted trilogy is they gave us way too much backstory and put faces to the "strangers" which made them much less scary. We knew nothing about the "strangers" in the OG movies and that's what made them mysterious and creepy; all we knew is they wore masks, knocked on doors and asked if Tamra was home before torturing their prey....to death. Now we know what they look like, where they grew up, why they ask if Tamra is home, their childhoods, etc.... all of which we never needed to know. They veil was lifted in an unsuccessful trilogy.
