After a disturbing event, Yvonne drives down to her friend Camille’s bucolic new home for some time away. She’s welcomed by A.J. and Isaac, two new friends of Camille, who also maybe live there. The group promises a weekend of homemade meals from fresh, local produce and parlor games by candlelight. But when Yvonne develops troubling symptoms from a tick bite, the rural paradise fades away revealing a breeding ground for a disturbing new life.

The True Beauty of Being Bitten by a Tick

Loved the entire vibe of this. It’s comically intimate and an effective slow burn despite the short runtime. Even though it’s all in this one house which is only a little unique, I found it visually very interesting. Lots of small details to soak in (check the mirrors!).

It has the feeling of a satire but doesn’t seem to actually say anything. It was really entertaining and interesting to watch, but kind of empty calories afterwards.
