Strange Darling is a new thriller directed by JT Mollner that is the horror MUST SEE of 2024. The movie stars Walking Dead's Kyle Gallner, who is no stranger to horror movies as he previously starred in The Haunting in Connecticut, Jennifer's Body, and the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010). The film also has another Walking Dead universe tie-in as Keith Carradine, who played John Dorie Sr. in Fear the Walking Dead, is featured in the movie's soundtrack with singer/songwriter Zberg.
Mollner directed and wrote Strange Darling. He is known for his first feature, Outlaws and Angels, which stars Chad Michael Murray. Former Miramax CEO Bill Block, Chris Ivan Cevic, Steven Schneider, and Roy Lee produced the Miramax and Spooky Pictures production. Strange Darling premiered in 2023 at the Fantastic Fest. The film's theatrical premiere begins August 23, and the movie holds a 98% ranking on Rotten Tomatoes.
Strange Darling synopsis: Nothing is what it seems when a twisted one-night stand spirals into a serial killer's vicious murder spree.
The movie was shot on 35mm film by Emmy and Screen Actors Guild award nominee Giovanni Ribisi, who has a cameo. Gallner (Smile, Scream 5) stars as the Demon, with Willa Fitzgerald (The House of Usher, Scream -the series) as the Lady. The movie also stars Barbara Hershey, Ed Begley Jr., Jason Patric, Madison Beaty, Bianca Santos, and Steven Michael Quezada.
The trailer (below) let's the viewer know that "this is a dramatization of the true story of the final known killings of the most prolific and unique American serial killer of the 21st century."
