“How did I get so lucky tonight?” Magenta Light Studios has revealed an official trailer for an indie thriller titled Strange Darling, the second feature from genre filmmaker JT Mollner. This premiered at Fantastic Fest last year and picked up some rave reviews, some of which are featured in this trailer. Everyone says to go in without knowing anything about it, and no one has said what is really happening here. The only brief synopsis says that it’s “one day in the twisted love life of a serial killer.” Starring Willa Fitzgerald, Kyle Gallner, Ed Begley Jr., Giovanni Ribisi, and Barbara Hershey. Ribisi is also the film’s DP. Fangoria says, “watching the film’s non-linear structure unfold was a pure cinematic thrill.” Adding that it’s “the most harrowing, surprising thriller of the year.” Well damn if that isn’t some high praise! Those who’ve seen it say this trailer doesn’t spoil much either. Give it a look and save the August relesae date on your calendar now.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for JT Mollner’s film Strange Darling, direct from YouTube:
“The cleverest thriller of its kind…” In Strange Darling, nothing is what it seems when a twisted one-night stand spirals into a serial killer’s vicious murder spree. Strange Darling is written and directed by indie American genre filmmaker JT Mollner, making his second feature film after directing Outlaws and Angels previously, plus many other short films. With cinematography by Giovanni Ribisi. Produced by Bill Block, Chris Ivan Cevic, Roy Lee, Giovanni Ribisi, and Steven Schneider. This film initially premiered at the 2023 Fantastic Fest in Austin, TX last year. Described by fellow horror filmmaker Mike Flanagan as, “sublimely brilliant… you must go in blind.” Magenta Light Studios will debut Mollner’s Strange Darling in select US theaters starting on August 23rd, 2024 later this summer.
