Make Me a Sandwich

2019 ·3m · ★ 6.3 (41)

Marcy and her husband Johnson, an elderly couple, live together in a constant state of disarray. Johnson continually demands Marcy make him sandwiches, ad nauseam, but how long can she withstand his abuse before she finally cracks?

Why it matters

A claustrophobic descent into domestic horror that exposes the corrosive power of emotional abuse through a minimalist, unsettling lens.

  • An unflinching two-hander that turns the mundane act of sandwich-making into a weaponized ritual of control.
  • Practical, intimate tension builds as the film traps you in the volatile microcosm of a toxic relationship.
  • For fans of slow-burn, character-driven horror that mines real-world anxieties over supernatural scares.
  • A stark reminder that horror’s most insidious monsters often wear familiar faces and live under the same roof.
