Anyone going to see "The Strangers"?
I heard that it was "based on true events," but also read that this isn't a true crime film, it combines elements of many famous home-invasions, including the Manson murders.

It looks too scary for me to see alone. I'm trying to find someone to take me.

3. Wow it looks really scary
It's one of those films I wait for DVD to see because I can take breaks from it if things get too intense!

4. Supposedly, the unsolved crime affiliated with Keddie, CA was also an inspiration
for this film. (Wiki link may contain info that could be considered a movie spoiler, so if you don't want to have it wrecked in any way, don't click.)
