We bid you welcome to the MODERN HORROR PODCAST. Hosted by authors A. J. Black and Hugh McStay, Modern Horror focuses on horror cinema from 2010 onwards, examining the best, worst, biggest and most obscure horror pictures from around the world. This week we return to the realm of the dark psychological thriller by looking at JT Mollner's 2023 film, Strange Darling. Another favourite of Hugh's that we've threatened to cover for ages, this indie picture subverts what we might expect from the standard serial killer hunts women story into something altogether knottier, darker and visually arresting. We unpick what Mollner's influences might have been, two outstanding central performances, and dig into where this intriguing tale fully goes... Host Hugh McStay Co-Host / Editor A. J.
