Disturbing yet enthralling

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Mysterious events surround two travelers 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. The Strange Ones could have been such a fantastic small indie movie but what starts as a mystery turns into a boring mess of a film with really boring perfomances and an even worse set of thrills and twists as well. If you're looking for something worth your money or time this film is really not your piece of cake believe me on that.

If you're looking for a movie with a slow moving plot, little character development, unmotivated flute music, confusing plot points (i.e. vanishing coffee cup- like what?) and a portion of dialogue coming from a 13 year old that says, "do it, use her hole," then this is the movie for you. I'm not exactly sure whether half of this movie was a dream sequence, or even whether it was supposed to be a sci-fi film or not. Honestly, the only thing this movie had going for it was the poster image that made it look somewhat interesting. Save yourself the time, do not watch.

The Strange Ones is a strange film, it tells the story of a man and a boy travelling across country and the secrets they hold.Thing is everything is so vague, pretty much everything is open to interpretation and the whole thing is about as interesting as reading the back of a tin of beans and half as exciting.All the way through I was thinking to myself that it was building to something, it'll have a payoff but it didn't it really really didn't.Lifeless, unforgivably dull and with a story that partially makes no sense and partially just isn't very good.I very rarely give movies a 1/10, it suggests a film is devoid of any redeeming features but that's exactly what we have here. It's been a while since I've watched a movie so deserving!The Strange Ones is a remake of a short film created by the same people. I can't imagine the short is much better but can confidently say it won't be any worse.The Good:Nothing, nada and/or zipThe Bad:Goes nowhereServes no purposeUncannily disturbing Things I Learnt From This Movie:They'll give awards out for ruddy anything these daysI don't blame the cup for leaving, I'd have too

Nick (Alex Pettyfer) and Sam, you can call me Jeremiah (James Freedson-Jackson) are traveling away from...? something to do with a fire. We watch them talk, eat, sleep in their car, get a motel room, get their car fixed, and other boring things for 50 or so minutes until we discover what the heck the film and fire were about. And it didn't help. Guide: No swearing or sex. Male butt nudity.
