Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bryan Bertino wrote and directed The Strangers (2008), and this shares its cruel randomness—home invasion trauma is clearly his brand.
The 81-minute runtime was likely mandate, not choice; Blumhouse-era horror learned that under-90 minutes maximizes profit-per-screening. Art suffers, wallets rejoice.
