Strange Darling plays on the cinematic expectations set by horror classics, promising a narrative that is meant to be felt rather than directly understood by the audience.
Writer-director JT Mollner emphasizes that while his film hints at twists, it intentionally avoids delivering a specific message, aiming instead for an emotional narrative experience.
The film's structure, with its non-chronological storytelling, aims to immerse viewers directly into the tense atmosphere, echoing techniques used in beloved horror films like Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
Mollner references David Lynch's philosophy that films should evoke feelings rather than clear messages, positioning Strange Darling as an immersive psychological experience for horror enthusiasts.
