‘The Strangers’ Endures Because of Its Grim Simplicity—and Its Mile-Long Mean Streak

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-22 00:45:09

The Strangers – Chapter 2 is hitting theaters soon, continuing the story from the 2024 reboot. The trailer hints at a hospital stalking tale in the vein of 1982’s Halloween II. But it’s hard to imagine any Strangers take ever topping the 2008 original, a brutal slice of home-invasion agony that suggests even the most ruthless evil can be as simple as it is random. Written and directed by Bryan Bertino, The Strangers is the kind of very-low-budget, high-yield horror flick that studio heads dream

Tesla’s 4th ‘Master Plan’ reads like LLM-generated nonsense

Tesla has published its fourth “Master Plan,” and at a high level it is about how the company wants to lead the charge into planet-wide adoption of humanoid robots and sustainable energy.
