20 Most WTF Moments From 2025 Horror Movies
19. The Wild Boar Attack - The Strangers - Chapter 2
The Strangers - Chapter 2 is a mostly miserable, forgettable follow-up to a franchise reboot nobody was really asking for, and when you're rebooting something on a budget, of course it makes sense to throw a CGI animal into the mix.
Because having our embattled protagonist Maya (Madelaine Petsch) flee from masked killers for 90 minutes apparently wasn't enough, there's a head-scratcher of a mid-film sequence where she escapes into a forest and is attacked by a wild boar. The result is an unintentionally hilarious and bafflingly overlong set-piece where Maya attempts to hide from the boar inside a car, before finally being forced to fight it and eventually stab it to death.
Now fair's fair - the VFX work looks relatively passable for an $8.5 million movie - but did anyone need this totally random diversion in a film about masked killers hunting people?
It feels like something that was added to the script last-minute to pad the runtime out to a contractually obligated 90 minutes.
