The Strange Ones
Directed by Lauren Wolkstein, Christopher Radcliff
Produced by Gamechanger Films, Adastra Films
A slow-burn psychological thriller about two brothers on a road trip that descends into paranoia and dark secrets, built on ambiguity and mounting dread.
Mysterious events surround the travels of two brothers as they make their way across a remote American landscape. On the surface all seems normal, but what appears to be a simple vacation soon gives way to a dark and complex web of secrets. This is the feature film version of the 2011 short film going by the same name.
