sorry, i had to! watch patrick's short film, "i live in your house"

[baflegacy]

cant believe the universes in which amangela are married are: messy reality dating show where they could divorce at any moment (toilet girl & new york), the literal apocalypse where demons and supernatural beings are constantly out to get them because they are cursed with the burden of going back to the same house again & again (edwin & eleanor), and a literal horror movie scenario where a creepy neighbor constantly harasses you to the point of paranoia (valerie & maya)

I LIVE IN YOUR HOUSE

Amanda really did a phenomenal job, though. You spend the whole time on the line between believing her and not, and that in turn walks you between comedy and horror.

And for that to work you need to both sympathise with/believe Valerie and find her a little ridiculous, and for that to work, the acting needs to have layers to it.

Amanda especially is really good at straddling the line between comedy and realism with physical acting- the shots of her searching the house initially make her come off a little goofy, but there is something very sincere and genuine about it.

Like if someone says that to you and you are home alone, what are you going to do? Hop up and down to try to see over a shelf. struggle with a door. Its goofy and understandable.

Then- it escalates, and she's camping outside her house, and her wife's voice is sort of proxy for influence for us, like hey, what are you doing? is everything okay? are you okay?

(And the conversations with Reed get weirder, and weirder, and suddenly it is no longer a comedy at all, for Valerie, but it can be a comedy for everyone else! Its absurd, and concerning, and its funny only if you don't believe Valerie. And her wife doesn't. Do we, as an audience? Is it funny? Or is it horrifying?)

And then her wife comes.

And invites him in. "Oh he's harmless."

You get a brief glimpse of their conversation, their relationship normal and domestic and friendly, and then it all takes a turn once this happens- Maya's friendliness becomes something worrisome instead of something heartwarming. The carefree attitude and lack of worry is dismissive instead of reassuring.

And at the end- ooh, the line of "do you hear that", and the unbothered "yes" is so good. Her fears get confirmed and dismissef in one moment. It is a horror. Valerie is in a horror movie. But she's the only one in it.

"Did you know there's coyotes under your deck? five of them,  like 60 ft below you, right now. The only known fatal coyote attack on a person ever recorded was in the 80s. It was this little girl in Glendale like 15 minutes that way. Super sad. They formed this coyote Management program. So they found every coyote in a half mile radius and exterminated them, which was 55 coyotes. The odds, of a coyote killing a human, are 0.06% but because the people scared of them found out about them... 55. Killed."

"Now, I'm not a coyote I'm a human man. So, why are you scared of me just cuz you found out about me? And let's be Crystal, maybe I didn't come with the house, maybe I came with you. Maybe I've always been just below your deck. you wouldn't know. Never gotten in your way. I've always been amicable, I've always just been here vibing so why, no-name? Why does merely knowing I exist ruin your life?"

"Because I don't want you here! I don't want you in my house!"

"So just tell yourself I'm gone, and I'll be gone"

[Laughter]

"What a strange joke."

I LIVE IN YOUR HOUSE

[shesmore-shoebill]

okay, okay, yes, me and my wife. but also this is a deeply clever and horrifying premise. like "i live in your house" and it becomes true. because he lives in your head, and he is living there. He is in your house even if he isn't.

and you spend the whole time thinking- if its in her head, it will get better once someone else is there- her wife, a loved one who has been expressing concern for her wellbeing.

And then she arrives, and invites him in. And it ends with "do you hear that" and an unbothered "yes".

HORRIFYING. well shot, well written, well composed, well acted.
