The Strangers Chapter 3 Fun Facts:
A Marathon Production:
Director Renny Harlin filmed the entire three chapters within 52 days of difficult shooting in Slovakia. The shoot was challenging because director Harlin often had to film between chapters on the same day. To be efficient, he would film scenes for Chapter 1 in the morning, Chapter 3 in the afternoon, and Chapter 2 at night.
Fan-Powered Reshoots:
After the first movie was released, the studio spent over 20 extra days filming more scenes to enhance the film based on the audience feedback. These "reshoots" were designed to make the fans happy and to make the final chapter much more exciting and intense.
A "Pin-Up Girl" Mystery:
In the second chapter, Maya kills "Pin-Up Girl," one of the original masked attackers. In the short teaser trailer, you see Maya wearing the mask, but her hands are bound together on the front. This could happen because maybe she is being forced into the situation and she is trying to stay alive, or because she has lost it completely after everything she’s been through and this is the beginning of her training to become one of them.
The World Beyond the Cabin:
The setting in the original 2008 movie took place inside just one house; in the trilogy, the setting starts off at the cabin in Chapter 1, and the story then shifts from the cabin to the hospital, including larger town settings in Chapter 2. The third chapter will be much bigger as it expands on the world beyond town when Maya tries to run away from Venus County on foot. The "Strangers" may be more than a small group that actually controls the whole town and much more organized than anyone thought.
Full Circle Reckoning:
In this final chapter, Maya faces the masked intruders one last time in a brutal, full-circle reckoning. It is meant to connect the new trilogy to the original 2008 story. It will finally explain the secret history of the killers and why they pick their victims. Most importantly, it will answer why they originally said they kill "because you were home."
