Critically acclaimed horror-thriller Strange Darling, from the producers of Late Night with the Devil and Barbarian, will have its European Premiere at FrightFest London on 24th August 2024, before releasing in UK cinemas from 20th September 2024 courtesy of Icon Film Distribution.
A clever and relentless thrill ride that defies audience expectation at every turn, in Strange Darling, nothing is what it seems when a twisted one-night stand spirals into a serial killer’s vicious murder spree.
A brand new horror-thriller from the producers of Late Night with the Devil and Barbarian, this flawlessly constructed, fresh take on the cat-and-mouse genre stars Willa Fitzgerald (Reacher, Scream series), Kyle Gallner (Smile, 2022 Scream), Ed Begley Jr. (Better Call Saul, A Mighty Wind) and Barbara Hershey (Black Swan, Insidious, The Last Temptation of Christ).
Distributed by the UK and Ireland by Icon Film Distribution, Strange Darling is a Miramax and Spooky Pictures Production. The film is produced by Bill Block, Roy Lee, Steven Schneider, Giovanni Ribisi and Chris Ivan Cevic, with Giovanni Ribisi also serving as the Director of Photography.
Spencer Pollard of Icon Film Distribution says of the upcoming release: “We are thrilled (literally) to be releasing Strange Darling in the UK later this Autumn. It is such a clever film that twists and turns itself inside out and leaves the viewer surprised, enthralled and on the edge of their seat all the way through this glorious piece of cinematic beauty.”
