This week we're checking out The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025). We evaluate the film's attempt at expanding the lore, assess its overall pacing, and dissect the effectiveness of its horror elements. In this episode's b-side, we debate the merits of horror trilogies, discuss which horror franchises could make successful TV series, and envision our ideal cut of this film. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 25:12.
