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.

I like atmospheric. I like edgy. I like esoteric. I just don't like to be bludgeoned into a stupor with it. That's what watching the mega-weird murder mystery drama "The Strange Ones" conspired to do to me.The only remotely redeeming aspects to recommend here is the spooky score by a pair of killer flutists and the performance of the great character actor Gene Jones. The rest of this plodding trash can be tossed deep into that creepy cave and abandoned.

I had no idea what this movie was about. I prefer not to know. It did not take long for me to figure out Sam's relation with his Big Brother. Being abused myself as a child, James Freedson-Jackson did a very impressive job portraying the troubled Sam.Not an amusing film for me...However, I believe it will make many viewers think quite a bit, after it is over.

I don't like movies that are all over the place. Was the boy raped by his neighbor/brother or beat and raped by his father? Or maybe his neighbor/brother was saving him from his fathers abuse. I wish I never watched it all it did was leave me confused to what it was about, I like a full complete storyline a beginning, middle and end.
