Madelaine Petsch-starrer 'The Strangers Chapter 1' to release on this date

'Riverdale' actor Madelaine Petsch has released a teaser and revealed the release date for Renny Harlin's remake of the 2008 film 'The Strangers', which will hit theatres on May 17, 2024, according to the reports.
She took to her Instagram handle to share the teaser and release date of the film. She captioned it, "THE STRANGERS CHAPTER 1 IN THEATERS MAY 17TH!!!!"

The film, which is planned as a trilogy, also stars Froy Gutierrez ('Cruel Summer') and Gabriel Basso ('Hillbilly Elegy').
According to the reports, the original movie was a home invasion pic that Bryan Bertino wrote and directed in his feature debut, with Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman starring. It was followed up by a sequel in March 2018, 'The Strangers: Prey at Night'. Together they made over $113M at the global box office.

The new film follows Petsch's character as she journeys cross-country with her longtime partner (Gutierrez) to start a new life in the Pacific Northwest. When their car breaks down in Venus, Oregon, they are forced to spend the night in a remote Airbnb, where they are terrorised by three masked men from twilight till daylight.
Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland (The Freak Brothers, Due Date) wrote the latest installment.
