UPDATE: Horror fans, mark your calendars! The Strangers: Chapter 2 is set to hit digital platforms tomorrow, October 14, 2023. This sequel, guaranteed to bring chills, will be available for purchase and rental, just in time for the spooky season!
Directed by Renny Harlin, who also directed the original, this reboot continues the harrowing tale of Maya Luca, portrayed by Madelaine Petsch. After surviving a brutal attack by three masked assailants, known as “the Strangers,” Maya grapples with the loss of her boyfriend, Ryan, played by Froy Gutierrez. Can she evade the terror that haunts her?
While the film has garnered a less-than-stellar response with only 15 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and a modest $13.1 million at the global box office, its digital release may offer a chance to connect with horror enthusiasts looking for their next fright.
Starting tomorrow, audiences can buy the film for $24.99 or rent it for $19.99 on platforms like Amazon Prime, Apple TV, and Fandango At Home. Renting allows viewers 48 hours to enjoy the film after hitting play.
For those wondering about streaming options, The Strangers: Chapter 2 is expected to hit Starz around January 2026. This aligns with a new Lionsgate deal ensuring Starz exclusive rights to post-theater releases. If it follows the pattern of Shadow Force, which was available on Starz approximately four months after its release, fans might see it available for streaming by early next year.
Starz subscriptions typically cost $10.99/month, but current offers allow new subscribers to get the first three months for just $0.99/month. Alternatively, a prepaid option for $11.99 for a full year could save you over $50.
In the meantime, horror lovers can enjoy the original The Strangers, which is currently streaming on Starz. Will The Strangers: Chapter 2 find its audience in the digital realm? Only time will tell, but fans of the genre won’t want to miss this chilling sequel!
Stay tuned for more updates as we track the film’s performance and streaming availability. Make sure to share this news with fellow horror aficionados!
