That's more or less how I felt.

The Strangers had an incredible tension build-up for about the first 45 minutes. After that, it seems like the filmmakers didn't know what to do with all that tension, and it became progressively more and more like any other BS home invasion movie you could see in any big multiplex at any given time.

Great for about 45 minutes, unremarkable the rest of the time.
