The strangers how does it end

She returns to the truck. The boys continue up the road where the next house is that of James' vacation home. Seeing the smashed car windows and the front door open, the boys go inside where they find Kristen and James lying on the floor. One of the boys reaches toward Kristen, and she suddenly screams.

Sign In. The Strangers Jump to: FAQs 9 Spoilers 5. Dollface would ask "if Tamara is home? How would the Strangers react if someone in the home actually was named Tamara?

What is "The Strangers" about? Is "The Strangers" based on a book? What is the skipping record saying? What are the songs in this film, namely the one Kristen hears when she is by herself with the lyrics "should we go outside, should we go outside"? Do we get to see the strangers without their masks? Where can the DVD cover art be seen? The completely random nature of The Strangers is what turned a simple home invasion story into a timelessly spooky one.

Back To Top. Ga-in falls prey to various and unprovoked attacks by those around her. At first her aggressors are acquaintances at school. A studious overachiever named Eun-kyung Oh Yeon-seo feels slighted when she is passed over for an opportunity, so she comes after Ga-in with a pair of scissors.

A family curse is often metaphorical in storytelling; characters feel fated or burdened by past acts committed by their ancestors. A variety of horror movies adopt this mode of curses, whereas Voices approaches the concept literally. Ga-in learns the source of her hereditary affliction when she seeks refuge with a long-lost relative Kim Seong-jun along with the above said classmate, Seok-min Park Ki-woong. While other stories at this point would explain in detail how to remove the curse, this one only raises more questions.

Frustration aside, the lack of concrete answers actually helps maintain a consistent level of dread until the very end. Voices negotiates the terms of its own premise all throughout; a supernatural force might be at play just as easily as a logical explanation encompassed by coincidences. An unearthly reason for everything is very well possible, but the director plays both sides of the argument. Countering the surreal moments is the grounded notion that the family curse is really a coping mechanism.

This is how someone contends with the bad things they have done in life while preserving the idea they are still good regardless of their offenses.

If the ambiguity feels unsatisfactory, the story eventually makes a bold and conclusive choice. Voices is a passionate movie in spite of the many unidimensional characters.

Anger, guilt, shame. Audiences are also more locked into the story and its immediacy. Once the danger begins, there is no letting up. This works in making the movie all the more ominous. Much like their faces, the motives of the three killers remain unknown and shrouded in mystery. From what we see, however, it looks like the murder is an act of violence that is committed purely for the sake of violence.

A major factor in James and Kristen being selected as victims is most likely the location and size of their house. A situation like the one we see could never have happened in a more crowded area.

It is, therefore, only because they live in an isolated area that James and Kristen fall victim. We can also tell that the perpetrators are in the habit of ambushing people who live in remote places by how efficiently they disable all the ways in which the couple can contact the outside world. He takes the phone away from her but leaves Kristen alive. However, it looks like the criminals are not very concerned about getting caught.

The senselessness of the crime follows into its execution as well, which, though planned, does not make logical sense. Hence, it looks like the killers are neither interested in the death of a particular person nor are they overly concerned about getting caught, which is emphasized by the relaxed conversation they have with the young boys soon after leaving the house instead of trying to remain inconspicuous.
