Strange Darling

Movie 2024 97 min MA 15+ Horror, Thriller
AMU 16+ * Quality ★★★☆☆

Our take

Strange Darling begins as a twisted one-night stand and becomes a killer's spree. Expect frequent f-word language, casual-sex talk, cocaine, a shotgun, and people begging not to die. Nothing is a date movie. Older teens and adults

Story (may spoil tone)

Nothing is what it seems when a twisted one-night stand spirals into a serial killer’s vicious murder spree.

Talk after watching

  • A hookup becomes a trap. What would you want someone to notice sooner?
  • The film hides who is in danger. Did that make it more stressful or just confusing?
  • Cocaine and guns sit next to flirting. How do you talk about that mix?
