Countdown: The Top 20 American Horror Movie Posters--#15

[For previous entry, click here.]

#15. The Strangers

The tagline ("We Tell Ourselves There's Nothing To Fear.  But Sometimes We Are Wrong.") is blunt yet ominous.  But what truly distinguishes this poster is its haunting image of home invasion.  I just love how the stance of the masked figure in the doorway mimics that of Liv Tyler, like some bizarre reflection in a dark mirror.  The domestic scene seems so neat and orderly here, but an eruption of chaos is no doubt imminent.
