Stridence

About This Movie

Stridence (1981) is one of those intriguing films that leaves you scratching your head. The atmosphere is thick and tense, almost palpable, as it drifts through its narrative without a clear direction. There's a rawness to the performances that feels genuine, capturing a certain grittiness of the era. The pacing, a bit uneven at times, adds to its peculiar charm, making moments of tension linger just a bit too long. Practical effects, though not groundbreaking, have a certain DIY appeal that gives the film a unique texture. It’s definitely got a vibe of its own, something that makes it stand out in that early '80s landscape of genre films.

Stridence has a bit of a ghostly presence in collector circles, often discussed but rarely seen. The film’s home media releases are sparse, making it somewhat elusive for those looking to add it to their collections. Its oddities have sparked curiosity among enthusiasts, leading to a dedicated but niche following. If you come across a copy, it might just be worth the hunt, as it’s not one you see often.
