Strange Darling
During the night, a man and a woman talk to each other in his truck in front a motel. They drink and smoke in the car while discussing whether they will have sex or not and the "rules". The woman, who loves kinky sex, asks him whether he is a serial-killer or not and they decide to go to a room. On the next morning, the woman flees from the motel while the man hunts her down.

Strange Darling emerged as a standout at FrightFest 2024, offering a refreshing take on suspenseful storytelling. The film, structured in six chapters, cleverly jumps around in time, keeping the audience guessing and engaged. Willa Fitzgerald and Kyle Gallner deliver outstanding performances, masterfully playing with the viewers' preconceived notions of their characters, The Lady and The Demon. The non-linear narrative and subtle hints scattered throughout the film offer a rewarding experience, especially upon rewatch. Strange Darling is a cleverly crafted film that keeps you on the edge of your seat, making it a must-see for fans of psychological thrillers.
This film will be popular with people who like Gone Girl (2014), The Invitation (2015), The Gift (2015), and Gerald’s Game (2017), for their psychological thriller elements, twisting character dynamics, and unpredictable narratives.
