Strangers
James (Scott Speedman) had everything planned: After proposing to his girlfriend, Kristen (Liv Tyler), at a friend's wedding reception, he'd surprise her with champagne, candles, rose petals -- the works – back at his family's isolated summer house. But Kristen said no – she's not ready for commitment – and now it's 4AM, she's in tears, he's humiliated, the trappings of fairy tale romance are just plain depressing and the night is about to get worse. Someone starts hammering on the door; it's a girl, asking if Tamara is home. Wrong house, James says, and she melts into the darkness. Odd. Even unsettling, if you stop to wonder how the light bulb over the door come unscrewed. James goes out to get Kristen cigarettes, and while he's gone, things get seriously scary: The girl returns, still asking for Tamara; a man in a crudely-fashioned mask appears at the window, Kristen's cell phone vanishes and the landline is dead. She's is a wreck by the time James returns, and his mechanically comforting words sound awfully hollow when someone takes an ax to the front door and James discovers that his tires have been slashed. Who are the strangers, and what do they want? (http://www.tvguide.com/movies/strangers/review/285627)
