“Every Stranger has a past.” That’s the tagline attached to a new trio of posters for The Strangers: Chapter 2 out of Midsummer Scream tonight, with the posters suggesting that we’re about to learn a bit more about Man in the Mask, Pinup Girl, and Dollface.
Director Renny Harlin recently teased, “People wanted to know more about the Strangers. We are showing some glimpses of their history in the movie, which I think deepens those characters, makes them more interesting — but doesn’t take anything away from the fact that these are real people, they could be anywhere around us, and the killings are totally random.”
Just over one year after The Strangers: Chapter 1 kickstarted a new trilogy of terror tales, Lionsgate is getting set to unleash The Strangers: Chapter 2 in theaters on September 26.
Here’s the official synopsis: “The Strangers are back – more brutal and relentless than ever. When they learn that one of their victims, Maya (Madelaine Petsch), is still alive, they return to finish what they’ve started. With nowhere to run and no one to trust, Maya must survive another horrific chapter of terror as The Strangers – driven by a senseless, unceasing purpose – pursue her, more than willing to kill anyone who stands in their way.”
