Sci-Fi-London: The Strange Dark

Edgar thinks he can see the future, his wife thinks he’s lost the plot, and his daughter isn’t sure what to believe. But when strangers appear at their door, saying they are from Double Star Accounting, it’s clear something very odd is going on. Written and directed by Chris Messineo, this film is a sharp, unsettling and darkly funny feature that plays with perception, truth and quiet paranoia. Tightly scripted and confidently performed, it’s a story that keeps you guessing and leaves you thinking. Low on budget but high on invention, this is a great debut and a fine example of indie sci-fi at its best—imaginative, clever, and just the right side of unhinged.
