This is a very sizable movie theater for the area. The parking lot was completely full, but the line was not. Even when we got inside, the concession line was virtually empty.

I can see how this is most likely a high school hangout. When leaving the restroom, I heard a bunch of giggly girls talking about how they saw a bunch of people from "Western" there. I'm not sure what that meant, but based on how young they looked, I'm guessing high school age.

The theater is in a good location with plenty of eateries nearby for after movie viewing noshing.

I'll definitely be coming back again.

So I have been coming here for a long time.... I mean a long time... Like since Junior HIgh... This theater has always been so much fun and as we all know back in the day the thing to do was watch more than one movie. It's also the only movie theater that still sells Jordan almonds. I admit I don't come here as often because I usually get free tickets and awards through AMC but it still is one of my favorite theaters :)  
On that Note:
I have a SPOILER Alert... Be advised DO NOT continue reading if you plan on seeing the Strangers...

Movie opening: Blood everywhere and two Mormon kids looking in the doorway... In the background a 911 operator...continue to scene...
Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman's character are a couple and she has just dumped him (I think) mind you she just turned down his wedding proposal but loves him??? As they are about to have a session there's a "creepy" knock at the door... They look at each other and he says its 4am WHO could that be (fade to clock to show 4:05) They answer the door "Is Tamara Home" creepy girl with the dark covering her face says (we can't see what she looks like). No was the reply then Liv is out of cigarettes so Scott decides to get her a pack because he needs air.

OK so he leaves.... Now you think ahhhh the scariness is going to happen... (Don't hold your breath, you will die)... Again bangs on the door and the smoke detector goes off because when the fire was lit the chimney wasn't opened... She grabs a chair unscrews the fire detector (now we all know you have to take out the battery not just unscrew it... whatever) More banging Live runs and grabs her cell phone its dead BUT the charger is in the bag (woo hoo) she plugs it in... More banging...Then in the background there is this big guy with a creepy potato bag mask on... (Again scariness is coming and Again don't hold your breath). Then Scott comes back (no cigarettes) and Liv has gotten so freaked out she has cut her hand so another loving scene where he is taking care of his "girl"... I don't even know how to explain it from this point... They try to escape and then there are three of them... They look out the window they see one then a Friend of Scott's was suppose to pick him up as he is waiting in his car his windshield shatters. So he goes into the house and then he's being followed by the guy with the mask but now he has an axe. Scott and Liv are in the room and they have a shotgun... Well you guessed it (well I had) they shoot their friend in the face so he's dead... (DUH)
Then there is more banging and noise making a few scary jumps here and there then they come face to face with the three masks who have tied them both to chairs and have them bound... Liv crying hysterically "Why are you doing this?" Then the original girl that knocked on the door says justifyingly "CUZ YOU WERE HOME"...(ummmm ok) Then they take off their masks, grab a knife and each take turns stabbing both of them... The artistic moment I think was when Liv was wearing the engagement ring that she turned down to begin with and she and Scott look at each other lovingly... Then they DIE...

In comes the scene with the Mormon boys they are walking with their bikes on the dirt road and the three "killers" stop and creepy girl gets asked by one of the kids "Are you a Sinner"... "Sometimes" she says, then the other girl says "Don't worry it will be easier next time"... (What!!)

Then the kids get to the house and see all the blood (Like in the opening scene) they see Scott dead and one kid gets to Liv he reaches to feel her pulse I'm guessing and she opens her eyes and SCREAMS.... Roll Credits....

I just saved you $10
