The masked killers are back in a brand new trailer forStrangers: Prey at Night. The originalStrangerswas released nearly a decade ago and, despite being a financial success, never managed to get a sequel going. That all changes very soon, asThe Strangers 2is coming our way on August 11, 2025. Now, Aviron Pictures has released a brand new, full-length trailer for the horror sequel that doubles down on the tension.
This new trailer forThe Strangers: Prey At Nightis probably everything that fans of the original could hope for. It keeps the premise familiar enough, with three very unsettlingmurderers wearing masksterrorizing an unsuspecting group of people. Yet, this time, it’s an entire family in a very different setting at a secluded trailer park. As for the footage itself? It’s pretty slick and incredibly intense. There’s a creaky swing set, which is always a sign of bad things to come in horror movies and a whole lot of violence. Also, there’s an interesting shot with a bunch of smashed cell phones. So it looks like this poor family can’t just call the police.
The Strangersfocused on a married couple who were having some difficulties in their relationship, who then found themselves being tortured at the hands ofthree masked maniacs.The Strangers 2sees a family on a road trip who go to stay at a mobile home park with some relatives, only to find it’s been mysteriously deserted. Then, the same three masked psychopaths pay them a visit, with violent results. There’s no way this happy family is making it out of this one all in one piece.
Bryan Bertino, director ofThe Strangers, co-write the sequel with Ben Ketai. This time around, Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down) takes over directing duties. Thecast includes Christina Hendricks, Martin Henderson, Bailee Madison and Lewis Pullman.The Strangers: Prey At Nighthasn’t been rated yet, but we’re guessing it’s going to have to be R-rated, based on this new footage. This isn’t the kind of movie that can afford to pull any punches by going for a PG-13 rating. Plus, the first movie was R-rated, so it only makes sense.
Though critics didn’t loveThe Strangers(currently boasting a 45 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes), the movie grossed $82.3 million on just a $9 million production budget. It’s also gone on to gain a lot of favor with horror fans as an excellent example ofhome invasion horror. 2017 was a banner year for horror movies at the box office. Can this long-awaited sequel help make 2018 a year for the record books as well? We’ll know soon enough.
