The Strangers Chapter 2 has hit screens in India.

The Strangers Chapter 2 movie review: Chapter Two of this three-part film series picks up right where the first part ended, which is Maya (Petsch) barely alive, her finance (Gutierrez) dead, and their families still nowhere near the town from hell, Venus.

Even the fact that you don’t have to sit through all that happened in Chapter 1, however, can’t rescue this part. Worse, rather than a couple out in the woods, being haunted by strangers at their door – still believable, still a plot for many Hollywood horrors, if one excuses the masks – we now have Maya being haunted at a hospital, hiding out next to her fiance’s body in the morgue, running about in the forests, hiding back at that cabin where it all began, waking up at another house, and being bruised and stitched up every which way possible – again, and again, and again.
