Willa Fitzgerald and Kyle Gallner’s critically acclaimed serial killer thriller Strange Darling is scheduled to make its debut on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, on digital streaming. After opening to limited release in theaters on August 23, 2024, the movie will now be available for digital purchase.
Written and directed by J.T. Mollner, Strange Darling is told in a fractured narrative format, similar to the structure of Pulp Fiction. Set in rural Oregon, the film focuses on a dangerous cat-and-mouse chase that follows after a one-night stand between a woman and a dangerous man.
What's interesting about the movie is how it presents the story in six chapters, not one following the other.
