Production

The first draft of the screenplay was initially written in 2011 when the idea came to Hooper after a house party at the location where the film would eventually be shot. Hooper was determined to not write "another generic slasher" as he was "bored of the genre and wanted to mature it", saying "All the fear and tension comes from the characters and how they react to each other.

Principal photography began in late August, 2014 in both Henfield and around the East Sussex area. It was shot using Canon C300 cameras provided by Ravensbourne University in London, of which members of the crew attend. A sneak peek teaser was released on Christmas Day, 2014 following an extensive advent calendar marketing campaign on the film's official Facebook page.

The musical score for Strangers Within is being composed by Iain Mahanty, formerly the guitarist and songwriter of Welsh alt-rock band Kids in Glass Houses who approached 2050 Films during pre-production, looking to get involved with exciting film projects since the end of the band.
