The Staff
TLDR
The Lady is the final girl to end all final girls.
What it's about
With a serial killer on the loose, a sexy one-night stand quickly turns into bloody carnage.
The take
A big part of Strange Darling’s charm is its ability to surprise you with one twist after another, so it’s best not to get into too many details here. What we will say is that director J.T. Mollner and his cast execute those twists with great finesse, making sure not to waste even a second of your time. The non-linear approach might seem gimmicky at first, but once Mollner presents all the pieces of the puzzle, it ends up feeling like a satisfying payoff. Even if you manage to guess where the film is headed, it still makes for an entertaining watch. Willa Fitzgerald is especially captivating.
What stands out
How it subverts horror expectations. I suspect future thrillers will take a page out of its book.
