“A captivating role of Maya is showcased in The Strangers Chapter 1 by Madelaine Petsch.”

Delve into the terrifyingly high levels of anxiety with “The Strangers: Chapter 1,” a slasher thriller story directed by Renny Harlin, hitting theaters on May 31st, 2024, in India. This terrifying tale follows a young couple, Maya and Ryan, portrayed by the captivating Madelaine Petsch and Froy Gutierrez, as they embark on a cross-country journey to the Pacific Northwest. However, their plans take a sinister turn when their car breaks down in Venus, Oregon, leaving them at the mercy of three masked strangers who terrorize them throughout the night. Director Renny Harlin reveals that Petsch, renowned for her mesmerizing performances in “Riverdale” and “Sightless,” was his top choice to lead the charge into this new chapter of fear. With Petsch at the helm, audiences can expect a gripping portrayal that will redefine terror across all three installments of this haunting trilogy.

Madelaine Petsch shares her views, “Maya is a resilient young woman who makes strong and smart decisions. Who is exciting and adventurous and doesn’t take no for an answer? She is on a road trip with her partner across the country, and something terrible starts to happen when they reach their air bnb. Adding to it, I think it will be really surprising to see how resolute she is.” She continues, “And to be honest, I’m so lucky that he (Froy Gutierrez) is the easiest person to have chemistry within the world. He is so kind, lovely, and genuine. It is all of the things that you want in a co-star.” Furthermore, adding to the overall experience, “I’m just very lucky I showed up on set and shared that I had some thoughts and notes on scripts. They were all super responsive to it, and then they asked the producer, and then we mixed the films and edited the release with them. We learned a lot through the process. There were moments that were challenging, and there was a lack of sleep, which was so worthy.”
