Strange but True is a 2019 American thriller film directed by Rowan Athale from a screenplay by Eric Garcia.

The film is an adaptation of the 2004 novel of the same name by John Searles and stars Amy Ryan, Nick Robinson, Margaret Qualley, Blythe Danner, Brian Cox, Greg Kinnear and Connor Jessup.

Melissa is shown at the home of Bill and Gail Erwin, who take her in because her parents don't like her foray into mysticism and obsession with Ronnie's death.

Later, Gail is doing laundry and finds Bill's cigarette stash, as well as a half-used blister pack of pills.

However, Gail answers the door and mentions that she is thankful that Richard pays rent on behalf of Melissa while she stays in their lodge.

They talk about Philip's broken leg, which broke when he allowed a car to run into him while he worked as a bike messenger.

He had moved to New York City because of a plan he made with Ronnie before he died and then was looking for an excuse to leave.

She discovered the pills Rohypnol that he has been secretly giving to Melissa and raping her, thus causing her blackouts and her pregnancy.

Charlene and Richard go into the house after hearing Phil's phone ring only to find Gail's dead body.

Melissa gives birth to her baby and a flashback shows the night Ronnie died in an accident while being chauffeured in a limousine.

In May 2017, it was announced Amy Ryan, Greg Kinnear, Nick Robinson, Margaret Qualley, Connor Jessup, and Blythe Danner had joined the cast of the film, with Rowan Althe directing from a screenplay by Eric Garcia.
