Movie of the Week – Strangeland

Dee Sinder's 1998 thriller Strangeland is one of those polarizing, love-it-or-hate-it movies. I, for one, like it a lot, and seeing it on Hulu actually made me say "Oh shit!" out loud. While it didn't come anywhere near Fangoria's claim that the film's antagonist Captain Howdy was a "horror icon for the next millennium," the film was definitely way ahead of it's time. It capitalized on the "online hook up turned deadly" thing years before the scenario became commonplace in reality with the advent of social networking and Craigslist, amongst other things.
