After meeting her new neighbors, a woman invites them over to a dinner with her and her husband which is somewhat undermined by a series of bizarre antics they display during dinner, but when it gives way to a deranged revelation that puts them in danger through their secret.
This was a far better genre effort than expected. Among its better features here is the impressive enough setup that makes for an intriguing time the longer it goes on. The main setup involving the neighbors coming over and the couple trying to entertain them through a series of genuinely bizarre and somewhat comical manner of behavior that takes place including their chipper attitudes, emotionless remarks, and literal tone with what they say or have said to them, making for a somewhat uneasy time. As it clearly hides a somewhat sinister agenda underneath the unnatural behavior and antics which are soon revealed in some twisted motivation behind what their purpose is, this allows for the film to gain a sense of suspense the more it goes on with the finale offering a nice bit of action to carry it along. There's just the overwhelming sense of the film being let down by the generally obvious low-budget limitations that are present here. This one is pretty much the main issue here as it tends to highlight everything that holds it back with the limited locations, lack of genuine special effects, and a restrained feel that comes from having things be kept so low-key that it doesn't have a lot of chances to go higher. With everything at the house and no real opportunities to expand beyond that from this not having much to go on other than the couple's weird interactions, it does have the kind of performance that keeps everything interesting as long as there's an appreciation of the low-budget setup. As it's not a big deal, this one becomes an intriguing enough time.
