During the night, a man (Kyle Gallner) and a woman (Willa Fitzgerald) talk to each other in his truck in front a motel. They drink and smoke in the car while discussing whether they will have sex or not and the "rules". The woman, who loves kinky sex, asks him whether he is a serial-killer or not and they decide to go to a room. On the next morning, the woman flees from the motel while the man hunts her down.
"Strange Darling" is a smart thriller divided in six chapters and epilogue, with a simple story of a serial-killer. However, the chapters are not presented in sequence but shuffled, misguiding the viewer. The film is made by bad decisions, based on the "fragility" of the victim, but the female officer is an imbecile and survives. Fortunately, I do not watch trailers of movies, and I did not foresee the twist along with the plot. The performance of Willa Fitzgerald is outstanding. My vote is seven.
