'Strange Darling' is the best film I have seen at Fantastic Fest yet. It was everything I wanted and more. We are told the film will be told in 6 chapters. We then see 'Chapter 3' flash on the screen and the action begins. From that moment on I knew I was in for a real treat. This film has no qualms about being different or unique (in the best ways).
The violence, the twists, the mayhem, the cat-and-mouse chase sequences, the dark and often hilarious humour. It's all done with so much class. It is hard to believe this is a second-time filmmaker making this.
I went into this movie quite tired. It was my third movie of the day and the outside heat was wearing me down. Within 5 minutes I couldn't have slept if I tried. This movie had me hooked. I needed to know what was going to happen next. This is what cinema should be. A well deserved 10/10 from me.
