Strange Darling | Official Final Trailer | In Theaters Aug 23rd - YouTube

Watch On

Comfortably the most overlooked thriller of 2024, “Strange Darling” is a movie where nothing is what it seems. Told in six chapters presented out of order, just when you think you’ve got your head around this thriller’s dark narrative, the rug is pulled out from under you and a shocking truth is revealed. But “Strange Darling” isn’t just a vehicle for a killer twist, it’s also a showcase of Willa Fitzgerald who is magnetic throughout. Oh, and her co-star Kyle Gallner is similarly fantastic in a role that requires more range than it might seem.
