What You Need To Know:
THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 2 is certainly suspenseful, but excruciating. Maya survives multiple attacks and even has to kill a wild boar that attacks her in the woods. Also, the local sheriff and his deputy are suspiciously corrupt in some way. Maya also learns that the killers have murdered more than 10 people so far. THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 2 has lots of intense scary violence with blood. The movie also has 20 or more strong obscenities. However, it is easy to sympathize with and support the plucky heroine, played strongly by Madelaine Petsch.

More Detail:
The movie starts in the hospital, where young Maya wakes up, with her wounds stitched up. Her fiancé, however, didn’t survive the attack from three vicious masked killers. One of the killers wears a scarecrow burlap sack over his face. The other two killers have an old-fashioned plastic doll mask and an old-fashioned plastic pin-up girl mask.
Maya isn’t safe, however. The first night, she hears someone apparently murder the male hospital attendant on duty. Maya leaves her hospital bed and must hide from the hooded killer, who has an ax.
The other two masked killers soon show up, but Maya evades them all to run into the woods. How long can she keep this up, however?
THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 2 is certainly suspenseful, but excruciating. Maya survives multiple attacks and even has to kill a wild boar that attacks her in the woods. Also, the local sheriff and his deputy seem to be suspiciously corrupt in some way. Moreover, the murder of Maya’s fiancé appears to be part of a series of murders numbering 10 people or more.
THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 2 has lots of intense scary violence with some blood. The movie also has 20 or more strong obscenities. However, it is easy to sympathize with and support the plucky heroine, played strongly by Madelaine Petsch. CHAPTER 3 is expected to be released sometime in 2026.
