Strange Darling—Willa Fitzgerald and Kyle Gallner’s critically acclaimed serial killer thriller—debuts this week on digital streaming.
The film opened in limited release in theaters on August 23. Written and directed by J.T. Mollner, Strange Darling features actor Giovanni Ribisi’s debut as a cinematographer.
