THEY LOOK LIKE PEOPLE

After ten years of silence, Wyatt walks into his childhood friend, Christian, in New York. Naturally, they have a lot of catching up to do: life, love, troubles and everything they can tell each other in the company of a few beers and pizza. But although Christian is happy to see his friend again, there are a lot of things he doesn’t know about Wyatt. Starting with his comeback to the Big Apple. For some time now, he’s been stalked by nightly phone calls telling him humanity is about to be destroyed by a battle. The big cities aren’t safe anymore and almost everyone has been enrolled into the demonic army. Wyatt wants to save his best friend at all cost before it is too late. To fight the demons, a voice whispers to him that there’s only one thing that works: acid!

Perry Blackshear’s first feature is infused with paranoia and dives into minimalistic horror to take a closer look at our connection with friendship. A spectacular success carried by two promising and talented actors!
