After flopping at the box office with just $15.9 million worldwide in total, Renny Harlin\u2019s The Strangers: Chapter 2 has now been unceremoniously dumped onto Digital at home.<\/p>\n

You can rent The Strangers: Chapter 2 on Digital at home for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99. The physical media release will follow in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n

The good news for Lionsgate is that\u00a0Chapter 2 had a reported production budget of just $8.5 million. The bad news? The film\u2019s opening weekend suggests that\u00a0The Strangers: Chapter 3\u00a0is destined to be a box office bomb, which begs the question of how Lionsgate should approach the release of the final film in this planned trilogy. Do you give it a pricey marketing push and bring it to theaters as originally planned? Or do you just dump the film to VOD at this point? We\u2019ll keep you posted as we learn more about Lionsgate\u2019s plan for this ill-conceived trilogy.<\/p>\n

The trilogy\u00a0was filmed simultaneously over the course of 52 days in Slovakia, but the additional shoot for the second and third installments brought the shoot to a total of around 80 days.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0The Strangers: Chapter 2, \u201cThe Strangers are back \u2013 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\u2019ve started. With nowhere to run and no one to trust, Maya must survive another horrific chapter of terror as The Strangers \u2013 driven by a senseless, unceasing purpose \u2013 pursue her, more than willing to kill anyone who stands in their way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meagan writes in her 1-star\u00a0review for Bloody Disgusting<\/a>, \u201cThe Strangers:\u00a0Chapter 2\u00a0throttles and chokes out any lingering interest in the Strangers and this confounding trilogy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
