The Strangers: Prey at Night is a 2018 slasher film directed by Johannes Roberts, and written by Bryan Bertino and Ben Ketai. It is the sequel to The Strangers (2008) and the second installment of The Strangers film series. The film stars Christina Hendricks, Martin Henderson, Bailee Madison, and Lewis Pullman as a family vacationing at a secluded mobile home park where they are attacked by three masked strangers.

It was originally slated to begin principal photography in 2009, during which time it was tentatively titled The Strangers: Part II. Laurent Briet and Marcel Langenegger were considered as directors, but the job was eventually given to Johannes Roberts.
