The Strangers

The Three Masked Strangers begin harassing a couple, Kristen McKay and James Hoyt from and within their summer vacation home. First, Dollface knocks on the door to ask if an unknown girl is home. When discovering that only Kristen and James currently occupy the residence, she leaves to join the other two, who had been hiding within the surrounding wood. Later, James leaves the home to get cigarettes while Kristen remains in the house. After a few more attempts to harrass the couple, The Strangers later find their way inside, when Kristen is alone and begin to move objects and lurk within the house, all in the effort to later terrify her. While Kristen enjoys a cigarette in the kitchen, unbeknownst to her, The Man In Mask begins silently observing her while lurking in the background, however he doesn't make himself known and simply vanishes before she notices his presence.

After James arrives, The Man In Mask begins chopping at the door with an axe while their car is destroyed by Pin-Up Girl, who rams it with a truck. In order to evade their persuers, James and Kristen hide inside of a room with a shotgun they had obtained to wait for dawn to arrive. Later on, James's friend, Mike arrives to check up on them and is stunned at the dissaray of the the home. Whilst walking about, The Man In Mask had bee stalking him from behind. While searching the home, Mike enters the room in which James and Kristen were hidden and is shot dead, being mistaken for one of the attackers, devastating James.

James attempts to go and get help, but is captured. Kristen tries to contact help, but is later captured, as well. The Strangers tie up James and Kristen and when Kristen asks why they are doing this, Dollface simply replies calmly "Because you were home". The trio then unmask themselves and take turns in stabbing the couple with a blade. Once done, the couple were untied and the three leave. When driving down the road they come across two mormon boys. They stop and Dollface asks for a leaflet. When one of the boys ask if she is a sinner, Dollface replies "Sometimes". After getting the leaflet, the three of them drive off, with Pin-Up Girl promising "It will be easier next time".

James and Kristen were later discovered by the two boys. Although James had died, Kristen had survived the ordeal and the police were contacted. It is not made clear as to whether Kristen lived much longer due to her severe injuries and her fate is left ambiguous.
