9:30pm - Monday, Sep 23, 2024

A relentless predator tracks an injured woman through the Oregon wilderness. The woman does her best to outsmart her attacker, but with each tense moment she grows weaker and less able. He’s a man on a mission, and it’s only a matter of time before he captures his prey. With Willa Fitzgerald, Kyle Gallner, Giovanni Ribisi, Barbara Hershey, Ed Begley, Jr.

"Electric and unforgettable, Strange Darling lives up to its maddening moniker. In a summer movie season that’s been middling at best, this is a must-see -- a feat of filmmaking so extraordinary you’ll wonder if it could ever truly be spoiled." (indieWire)

"An electric thriller with blood on its hands, flesh in its mouth, and deviance on its mind." (The Daily Beast)

"Summer just saved its thrillingest thriller for last. Starring a wow Kyle Gallner and Willa Fitzgerald, this gut punch from JT Mollner brings a day in the romantic twisted love life of a serial killer to vivid life on screen. You won’t know what hit you." (ABC News)

"Both Z Berg’s haunting, otherworldly pop songs and Giovanni Ribisi’s eloquent photography (it’s the actor’s first stint as a feature cinematographer) bathe the film’s violence in an unexpected dreaminess." (New York Times)
