This final chapter, like its immediate predecessors, falls somewhere between footnote and outright detritus, like a plastic bag being blown through the multiplex by a stiff breeze.

The third chapter is better than the middle one by virtue of having at least a few new ideas and one less CGI wild boar, but it’s still a shapeless mess, a movie that might have worked as the final act of one film.

The Strangers: Chapter 3 isn’t terrible, but it’s also not the comeback the franchise needed. The movie has a few tense moments and some effective atmosphere, especially in the early scenes, but it struggles to maintain suspense for a full runtime. The pacing drags in places, and the characters aren’t developed '"> enough to make their decisions feel meaningful.That said, the cinematography and sound design do a lot of heavy lifting. There are flashes of the creepy tone that made the original film memorable, and horror fans might still find parts to enjoy. The problem is that it feels more like a repetition of old ideas than a satisfying conclusion. It plays things safe when it should have taken risks.Overall, it’s a watchable but forgettable entry — not a disaster, not a triumph. Fans of the series will probably appreciate it more than casual viewers, but it doesn’t leave a strong lasting impression.

They just tried to do the same schtick, but longer and worse, and let’s face it, 'longer and worse' is only the goal if you’re trying to torture somebody.

It’s easy to imagine the nihilistic avenues that Renny Harlin’s trilogy capper could have gone down.

This is an unconscionably lazy piece of work, the kind of movie that makes you marvel how people will put months of work into creating a feature film whose script seems to have been written in a few hours’ uninspired haste.

The only thing Harlin has done here is to remove the element of surprise. Without that, the film is nothing, nothing at all.

"The Strangers: Chapter 3" is another atrocious addition is this very terrible uninspired franchise.

This movie is so bad that it actually deserves a Zero rating. The first one waspretty good, the second was a bit shaky and not as taught but still a good matinee, but this one is a complete waste of time…a lot of back story and not too many thrills or chills. And the ending…seriously? WTF. Whatever studio exec read this ending and said - looks good let’s do it - should be fired.
