<I>The Strangers: Chapter 2</i> is darker and spills more blood than <I>Chapter 1</i>, but is filled with backstory pieces, a character who makes terrible decisions, and a laughable scene that went on for too long. It's an unnecessary piece to the trilogy (which we didn't need) that had better wrap up in Chapter 3.
