At the start of the pandemic, an indulgent and self-deluded livestreaming improv musician abandons L.A. for London, steals her ex-bandmate's car, and makes the fateful decision to give a ride to an elderly woman who is not what she seems.

Why it matters

A claustrophobic plunge into pandemic paranoia filtered through a found-footage lens that twists domestic space into a house of horrors.

  • Captures early-pandemic isolation and mistrust with unsettling immediacy—an anxiety snapshot for our times.
  • Lead performance channels self-absorption and creeping dread in equal measure, grounding the supernatural with human flaws.
  • Practical effects and tight framing maximize tension in confined spaces, proving found-footage can still innovate post-Paranormal Activity.
  • For fans of intimate, character-driven horror that exploits social media’s narcissism and the uncanny lurking in everyday encounters.
