The Strange

About This Movie

So, 'The Strange' is this intriguing little science fiction thriller set on a Martian colony, focusing on a young girl, Anabelle Crisp. She’s driven by revenge, and the atmosphere is heavy with tension and isolation. The desert scenes are haunting, almost surreal; they really capture that sense of desolation. The performances, especially from the lead, are raw and engaging, making you root for her through this gritty quest. What sets it apart, aside from the striking visuals and practical effects, is the emotional weight tied to her mother’s voice — it’s like a ghost haunting her journey. There's a unique pacing that keeps you on edge, blending the sci-fi elements with a very human story.

'The Strange' has a bit of an elusive quality to it, making physical copies somewhat rare. It hasn't been widely distributed, which adds to its collector's allure. The practical effects used in the film are a testament to a bygone era of filmmaking that many collectors appreciate. Fans of under-the-radar science fiction may find this one a gem worth seeking out, especially if they have a penchant for unique narratives set in offbeat locations.
