Recommended Film: The Strays (2023)
Recommended film. Nathaniel Martello-White. Ashley Madekwe. Brit Grit. Netflix.
In THE STRAYS, an unhappily married woman leaves her family home and starts a kind of Stepford life in a bland and twee English suburb. To say any more would probably lead to plot spoilers. However, I will say that THE STRAYS is one of the most intelligent and off-kilter horror/ thriller/ dramas that I’ve seen in ages. It’s gripping, odd, engrossing, chilling, sad, unnerving, thoughtful, and very bloody discombobulating. The acting is first class and the film’s pacing is spot on. I loved it. Highly recommended.
