Directed and written by Jem Gerrard, who also made Slay for Tubi, this starts with Kay (Khosi Ngema) and her friend Riley (Matthew Vey) sneaking into the home of pharma king Pierce Patton (Francis Chouler) and his girlfriend Jessica (Alex McGregor). Much like Parasite, they seemingly live in the spaces where rich people leave behind during the day, remaining hidden and enjoying the comforts of life that their jobs could never afford.
Except there's some way strange things going on in this house.
You can tell that Pierce is insane right from the beginning, as when he sees a photo that a journalist (Grant Ross) has used for his cover story, he instantly reacts like it's the biggest slight ever. It takes Jessica to calm his nerves and make him settle down at his party.
Spoilers from here on out...
When you buy an entire mountain so no one else can be near you, you're probably the kind of maniac that is conducting secret body horror experiments in your basement. That said, I was surprised several times by this movie, as characters aren't what they seem and the lure of power, money or medical innovation start to be more important than being a human being. Only Kay emerges as someone who just wants to escape and tell the world about what she has seen. There's a good chance that no one is going to allow her to be so altruistic.
This is the second movie by Gerrard that I have enjoyed and I hope that Tubi keeps them coming.
