The new Strangers trilogy has been nothing short of a frustrating and disappointing experience with two movies in so far (especially with talents like Renny Harlin as director and the lovely but talented Madelaine Petsch as star), but considering that, Chapter 3 could have the potential to be the best of the three and deliver something satisfying, right?

Unfortunately, while this is the best of this trilogy, it still has a lot of the same exact criticisms that I share with the first two, making it a disappointing and anger induced conclusion to one of the more frustrating and potential wasted horror trilogies out there. Here is my final review/RANT for the finale of this trilogy, “The Strangers: Chapter 3” as I go over everything that worked and hated.
