The real events are: (1) father physically abuses Sam; (2) neighbor babysits and sexually abuses Sam; (3) Sam kills father and burns down house: (4) Sam runs away alone but is captured by the police; (5) police detective investigates and determines Sam is emotionally disturbed and needs to be placed in a child services camp for such adolescents; (6) Sam receives counseling from Gary during his time at the camp; (7) during his time at the camp he explores the area and discovers the cabin, the cave and the motel.All else is fantasy constructed by Sam around those camp experiences which accounts for the lack of linearity of the film.
Nick actually portrayed a protective surrogate father, with whome Sam fell “in love”!Nick didn’t go to the cops so Sam wouldn’t end up in a foster home and they went on a trip so we’d have a movie.Perhaps Sam did everything and Nick took the blame. The ambiguity of it. Sam is persuaded by Nick to kill his father.
Another big flag is when they did a medical examination of Sam and said there was no sexual abuse indicated. The movie is deep but not that deep and Sam and Nick are definitely 2 people. And that is when we clearly learn that Sam indeed did kill his father.Which is why, at the end of the movie, we see Sam flash back to his talk with the head of the camp. 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.One more thing…why does Sam repeatedly refer to himself as “Jeremiah”? The film features an ensemble cast that includes Stephen Tobolowsky, Carlos Alazraqui, John Hennigan, and Tiffany Shepis.

movie recommendation (which, if you are curious, you can see my long lost of movies I do endorse, The themes here are too dark. Female prisoners in a Nazi concentration camp (Auschwitz) are spared from death in return for performing music for their captors. Much like a Dad punishing his son in a very tense situation. If Nick was abusing Sam he would have no need of “relaxing” in the shower he would easily take advantage of Sam who was already in love with him. I was the same person, but it was like I had traveled through time. What is this cave ? Fact-based story about an unwed teen (Nancy McKeon) who fought a major court battle to recover her infant daughter from adoptive parents (Lindsay Wagner, Chris Sarandon). There are news stories that are chasing behind them?
I have recently completely overhauled this entire movie discussion post for The Strange Ones based on ONE comment that I got (that comment won’t be hard to find, it’s the first comment I got, but it is so spoiler laden (even though the heart of the comment is only three words) it spoiled the movie for me, and I’ve SEEN it! His familiar? Eventually, the head of the camp talks to the police, and they put two and two together and realize he is the missing boy that the authorities have been looking for that has been with Nick in the woods.So Sam and a Child Protective Services woman talk. These memories are only as real as you want them to be. He setup this utopian idea in Sam’s head of the cabin and the woods. Who killed the father ? Horrendous.Think about this in the real world.
It was a child abduction scenario.
Can we decide on our own our thoughts, and our actions? I mean, that’s how it works. Nick psychologically preyed on Sam, and convinced Sam to kill his own father. If it were that kind of story I would have prefered a more rigid fit like “The Sixth Sense” or “Momento”.Just one glaring example is that through out the movie there are people who “see” and interact with both of them together as unique individuals. Very confusing. All your theories are so intriguing.. I’d defend myself. Right? This is a result of his counseling sessions with Gary; (4) while driving with Nick (a fantasy), Sam tries to explain that he is having visions, not dreams and I believe this is actually being revealed to Gary in one of their sessions; (5) the visit to the cave and being killed by a car is Sam’s way of finally controlling his thoughts and the last steps in his counseling which means he has recovered.
