Strange Darling is a new thriller about the Demon (Kyle Gallner) chasing the Lady (Willa Fitzgerald). I really shouldn’t go into further details about the plot beyond that, so instead, I’ll say that it’s a well-written film that looks gorgeous with the great performances by the two leads. It’s a film that I would recommend watching if you can find it, given its limited release.

Johnny (Ry Barrett) is an undead slasher awakened from his slumber after a camper foolishly steals his mother’s locket. After digging himself out of his grave, Johnny goes on a quest to get it back. It’s a journey that involves walking, murder, walking, eavesdropping, and more walking. There’s so much walking since the hook of In A Violent Nature is that it’s a slasher movie told from the killer’s perspective. So, we get to see how tedious it would be to get around without teleporting offscreen.
