Our take

This masked-home-invasion sequel continues with prolonged stalking, attacks on vacationers and psychological terror. Dialogue includes gun threats, assault language and moderate profanity. Expect a bleak, violent tone without comic relief.

Story (may spoil tone)

Tethered by a frightening conclusion, Maya and the Strangers are locked on an unavoidable, unforgiving collision course — a showdown that proves they’re far from strangers now.

Talk after watching

  • Victims are trapped where they should feel safe. Why are vacation homes scary settings?
  • The attackers mask their identities. Does not knowing motives make horror worse?
