Previous research indicates that inflammation, particularly in the lungs,…

Something you might not know about The Strangers: Chapter 2 – other than that it even exists to begin with – is that it is a sequel to the film that attempted to reboot The Strangers rather than a follow-up to the 2008 original. Its direct predecessor lived and died quietly in 2018, but with two sequels already in the can, Renny Harlin and his crew scrambled to complete some reshoots based on audience feedback. The OG Strangers, fronted by Liv Tyler, was one of the many noughties horrors (see also: Hostel, Eden Lake, Steven Sheil’s Mum & Dad) inspired by a decade of news headlines of terror attacks and torture…

Differentiated from the fluffy yellow sea of other chicks by her unusual dark brown plumage, one she’s grown, the central chicken’s…
