Strange Darling is a thriller about a couple hooking up at a seedy motel. Willa Fitzgerald stars as The Lady and Kyle Gallner is The Demon. That’s how they are introduced to us anyway. We will learn their names, maybe, they are probably lying to each other and by extension, to us. The story unfolds in 6 mixed up chapters starting in the middle and giving us chapters in a specific order intended to keep us guessing as to who is who and what they are up to.
The film opens with a shocking chase scene. The Lady is bleeding and on the run from The Demon. He’s driving a truck that sounds like some kind of monster while she’s driving an aged 70s era Pinto that is just narrowly keeping her ahead of The Demon. After he shoots the back window out, the vehicle crashes and the chase moves to the woods with The Lady keeping just ahead of The Demon and his deadly shotgun.
