🎥 Strange Darling — Chapters, Chaos & a Serial Killer Twist

We’re back with Week 2 of our “Top 13 Genre Films of 2024” — and this time, we’re watching Strange Darling. Streaming now on Amazon Prime, this slick little indie surprised us with both its form and its story.

It’s nonlinear. It’s stylish. It’s artsy.And yes — it tricked us. Which, as reviewers, doesn’t happen often.

🔪 The Premise

Based on true events (which, we’ll admit, we immediately Googled), the film imagines the final run of encounters between a serial killer and a would-be victim. But here’s the catch: it’s told in six chapters… and not in order.

🎬 Chapter Three starts first.🧠 You’re instantly disoriented.💥 You think you know who the killer is. You don’t.

The whole film is a psychological shell game — and it plays dirty in the best way.

🌀 Why It Works

Strange Darling trusts its audience. There’s no voiceover, no exposition dump. Just sharp performances, moody cinematography, and a storyline that keeps looping in on itself until the reveal clicks.

🖼️ It's got that Sundance-with-a-body-count vibe🎭 The two leads are giving A24-level nuance📖 Structure nerds will have a field day

Also: that ending. No spoilers, but it left us both staring at the screen like “wait, wait… rewind that.”

Strange Darling feels like a short story that grew fangs. It’s small, contained, but deceptively rich — and the kind of film that’ll quietly linger for days after you hit stop.
