Strange Family

About This Movie

Strange Family from '77 is one of those oddities that really makes you wonder about the era it was produced in. The tone is a mix of dark humor and outright absurdity, which is kind of mesmerizing. You’ve got this quirky family dynamic that unfolds in a somewhat awkward yet surreal manner. The pacing is uneven, which surprisingly adds to its charm. You can’t help but be drawn into the strange interactions, and the practical effects have that low-budget feel which somehow complements the bizarre narrative. The performances are a bit over-the-top, but that’s what gives it its distinctive flavor. If you’re into cult flicks that don’t play by the rules, this is one to explore.

Strange Family has had a somewhat spotty release history, often popping up in obscure collections or as part of exploitation film compilations. It's not the easiest title to find in good condition, and collectors seem to appreciate its eccentricity and the way it reflects the strange cultural undercurrents of the late '70s. While it may not have mainstream appeal, its unique atmosphere and thematic elements have garnered a dedicated niche following.
