Ending my day with one last movie, I stumbled upon a film titled "Strange Darling." A psychological thriller revolving around a mass serial killer, I had no prior knowledge of its storyline. Without watching a trailer or reading a description, I decided to dive right in.
As the movie unfolded, I found myself completely absorbed in its narrative. The plot kept me on my toes, constantly questioning the identity of the serial killer. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, I was either right on the money or completely off track. The film demanded my full attention to catch the subtle clues and details.
While I found "Strange Darling" to be a decent watch and appreciated it for what it was, I don't think I would revisit it. The movie delved into gruesome and heavily exploited sexual themes, making it unsuitable for younger audiences. However, I could see why critics and viewers were praising it - the film's psychological thrills and twisted tale of a serial killer kept me guessing until the very end. Though I initially guessed wrong, once the pieces fell into place, the entire story made perfect sense.
