“You know you ask for this, right?” Magenta Light Studios has debuted a second trailer for an indie thriller titled Strange Darling, from genre filmmaker JT Mollner. The film is earning more & more rave reviews, opening in limited theaters in a few weeks. It initially premiered at Fantastic Fest last year. Everyone says to go in without knowing anything about it… The only brief synopsis says that it’s “one day in the twisted love life of a serial killer.” Hmmm – but what else? Starring Willa Fitzgerald, Kyle Gallner, Ed Begley Jr., Giovanni Ribisi, and Barbara Hershey. Ribisi is also the film’s DP. One other recent rave review came from beloved author Stephen King, who watched a screener and tweeted after: “it’s really terrific… Can’t say more; watch the film and you’ll understand what the trailer is up to.” Once again, trust the buzz on this one and watch it without seeing any more. “I wish I could say more about Strange Darling, but it’s one of those films that’s too clever to spoil, so best to say nothing.” I am glad these trailers aren’t giving away too much…
Here’s the second trailer (+ additional poster) for JT Mollner’s film Strange Darling, 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. Who wants to see this? Looks creepy already?
