Biography[]
The Strangers: Chapter 1[]
The Strangers were first seen when a group chase and kill Jeff Morell in the forest.
Maya and her boyfriend Ryan drive across the country, celebrating their fifth year anniversary while Maya is looking to get a job in Portland, Oregon. Lost, they stop in a small town called Venus and eat at a local diner. The locals disturb them, which escalates further when their car breaks down. The town's mechanic, Rudy, agrees to fix their car the next morning and they are forced to stay the night in an Airbnb.
A girl appears asking if Tamara is here, to which the couple responds no. Ryan goes back into town with a motorcycle to retrieve his inhaler which he left behind in the car and to grab food. Alone, Maya plays the piano and takes a shower afterwards, but is unaware of Scarecrow silently stalking her. The power shuts off and Dollface's sudden appearance horrifies her, leading her to hide. Ryan returns, comforting her and deeming it a ruse. Both eat, pausing when they notice blood dripping above from a dead chicken hanging on the chandelier. Both are attacked by Scarecrow who smashes down the front door.
Both flee outside to escape with the motorcycle but it is blown up by Scarecrow. Horrified, both rush back inside, grabbing weapons for defense. Using the home's crawl space, both narrowly avoid being found as Maya accidentally strikes her hand on a nail. Once they make it to the shed, Ryan finds a shotgun and uses it to rescue Maya from another attack.
Circling around to the porch, Ryan mistakenly shoots the Airbnb's owner killing him, believing it to be one of the strangers. They grab his car keys and attempt to escape with his vehicle, but get T-boned by Scarecrow driving a truck. Maya runs away into the woods but Ryan is unable to move as his leg is stuck. After narrowly avoiding discovery from Dollface, Maya calls 911. The call fails due to a lack of service and, during the call, Maya comes across a corpse. Horrified, she goes deeper into the woods, but is discovered by Dollface and is knocked out cold. Ryan searches for Maya and holds Pin-Up Girl at gunpoint, demanding information about Maya's whereabouts. During the altercation, Scarecrow knocks him out cold.
Both wake up tied to chairs in the house. In their last moments, Ryan offers to marry Maya, which she accepts. Ryan is fatally stabbed and his chair is knocked over, causing him to choke on his own blood. Maya asks for the motive to which Pin-Up Girl replies, "because you're here". Maya is then stabbed and knocked over as well. Approaching police sirens are heard in the distance and the perpetrators speed away. Maya awakes in a hospital bed, barely surviving the night.
Maya slowly rises from the bed and doesn't notice Scarecrow lying next to her.
Trivia[]
- It is unclear if they share continuity with the original Strangers. Whilst the new trilogy was announced as a reboot, later reports stated it was set in the same universe prior to the original 2008 film. The film would serve as a faithful remake to the original, with further ambiguously to its connection to the original duology.
- The Man in Mask from the original is the only one to have his alias renamed, now being referred to as "The Scarecrow".
- The Scarecrow is a major antagonist from the Batman franchise, who also wears a burlap sack and enjoys using fear to torment his victims.
- There's a theory that Scarecow and Dollface are the married couple Gregory and Debbie who met Ryan and Maya, while Pin-Up Girl is Shelly the waitress at the restaurant who drove Ryan and Maya to the cabin.
