‘The Strangers: Prey at Night’ Gets Creepy Official Trailer

Moviegoers that have been craving something intense after holiday films, potential award contenders, and superhero blockbusters can look forward to The Strangers: Prey at Night on March 9, 2018.

If The Strangers: Prey at Night sounds familiar to you, it’s because the upcoming film is a sequel to 2008’s The Strangers, which starred Scott Speedman (Animal Kingdom) and Liv Tyler. The Strangers went on to gross $82.4 million on a $9 million budget. While it took a long time for a sequel to be made, it’ll be right to assume that distributer Aviron Pictures is expecting similar box office results from the upcoming offering.

Check out the trailer!

The Strangers: Prey at Night stars Christina Hendricks (Mad Men), Lewis Pullman (Battle of the Sexes), Martin Henderson (Everest), and Bailee Madison (Just Go With It).  The film was co-written by The Strangers director Bryan Bertino and Ben Ketai. It was directed by Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down).

Here’s the official synopsis:

A family’s road trip takes a dangerous turn when they arrive at a secluded mobile home park to stay with some relatives and find it mysteriously deserted. Under the cover of darkness, three masked psychopaths pay them a visit to test the family’s every limit as they struggle to survive.

Aviron Pictures is a new film distributor that came to rescue the Halle Berry starrer Kidnap after the Relativity Media drama. Kidnap was finally released on August 4, 2017, and went on to gross $32.7 million after Aviron Pictures bought the distribution rights for $3 million. It ranked No.1 on rental charts in December 2017. The film is still in the Top 10.

Kidnap was released on Blu-ray and DVD on October 31, 2017. It also got Halle Berry an Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture nomination at the 49th NAACP Image Awards.
