Rogue Pictures is planning a sequel to the recent hit low-budget horror flick "The Strangers" reports Variety.

Bryan Bertino wrote the original and made his directing debut on the film.

He will pen the sequel script, but it's yet to be determined whether he'll helm the sequel.

The original cost a mere $9 million and despite mixed reviews took in over $54 million domestically. The story followed a couple terrorised in their remote house by three masked assailants.

Liv Tyler along with several of the original villains will return in the project slated to begin shooting early next year.

Bertino is also attached to direct the thrillers "Black" and "Alone".
