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.

Development of the film began in August 2008, when Rogue Pictures had confirmed that a sequel was in the works, with Bertino co-writing the screenplay with Ketai. It was originally slated to enter principal photography in 2009, during which time it was tentatively titled The Strangers: Part II. Directors Laurent Briet and Marcel Langenegger were considered to direct, but landed eventually to Roberts. After a troubled development period, filming to the sequel began on May 30, 2017.

The Strangers: Prey at Night was released in the United States on March 9, 2018, and in the United Kingdom on May 4, 2018, grossing $32.1 million worldwide on a budget of $5 million. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with some considering it to be more entertaining than its predecessor and appreciating its satire of horror films, while others noted it as inferior to the original and called it clichéd.
