The masked maniacs will unleash bloody carnage once again in The Strangers: Chapter 2 this coming September, and the film has received its official “R” rating from the MPA this week.
The Strangers: Chapter 2 is rated “R” for “Bloody violence, and language.”
How does that rating compare to the three previous films in the franchise? They have all been rated “R” from the beginning, but for slightly different reasons. Here’s the breakdown…
- The Strangers (2008): “Rated R for violence/terror and language.”
- The Strangers: Prey at Night (2018): “Rated R for horror violence and terror throughout, and for language.”
- The Strangers: Chapter 1 (2024): “Rated R for horror violence, language and brief drug use.”
Just over one year after The Strangers: Chapter 1 kickstarted a new trilogy of terror tales, Lionsgate is getting set to unleash The Strangers: Chapter 2 in theaters on September 26.
Here’s the official synopsis: “The Strangers are back – more brutal and relentless than ever. When they learn that one of their victims, Maya (Madelaine Petsch), is still alive, they return to finish what they’ve started. With nowhere to run and no one to trust, Maya must survive another horrific chapter of terror as The Strangers – driven by a senseless, unceasing purpose – pursue her, more than willing to kill anyone who stands in their way.”
Renny Harlin (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, Deep Blue Sea) directed both Chapter 1 and Chapter 2, as well as the upcoming The Strangers: Chapter 3.
