🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Larry Yust constructs a darkly comic premise on the stark contrast between its gentle protagonists and their extreme actions. He relies on the inherent absurdity of the situation to explore themes of societal neglect and desperate resistance pushed to a horrifyingly logical conclusion.

Those who tire of predictable horror will find a sharp, cynical satire here. What lingers after the final frame is a grimly amusing question about who the real monsters are in the battle for a home. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Larry Yust

Best Watched

Best watched with a small group attuned to dark humor and sudden tonal shifts. A perfect pick for an offbeat movie night.
