This movie surprised me in that it went in a different direction than what I anticipated. I ended up really enjoying it though. The chemistry between the main characters is great and the movie delves into some serious topics and does it in a very effective manner. I felt for the characters and also still had no idea how the movie would end. There were some suspenseful scenes for sure. This is not a traditional horror movie as it initially seemed, but it was certainly worth the watch.

Honestly, me and my friends are going to stop shaving, cast an "adorkable" ingenue in the female lead and wander around in silence. We'll stop to glare at each other while playing minimalist techno in the background once in a whileWe'll substitute character development and a logical story-line for jump-cuts and a premise that could not unfold in reality, ever.When we need to we'll bend and twist the story to do whatever we want in order to get to the big cool scenes we want to do. LIke oh I don't know, maybe the main character gets fired by his girlfriend, because his co-workers think he's an asshole...The US press keeps bitching about fake news, so how come movie critics aren't up in arms about this new "fake movie" craze?

"They Look Like People" kicks off with one of the most effective and frightening opening segments I have seen in a "horror" film in a long time, maybe ever.I say "horror" with quotations because apart from a couple great scenes of genuine freakiness, the film is set up more like a character study than a slasher.You can tell this picture had a very low budget, but it is a solid passion project from the creators, and still comes across the screen as being a bigger picture than it is.By the end of the film, the meaning behind what was being shown does a complete 180, turning from a thriller/horror film, to a study of mental illness and true friendship. At this time, this one is showing on Netflix, so watch while it's easily available.

Suspecting that people around him are turning into evil creatures, a troubled man questions whether to protect his only friend from an impending war, or from himself.Ari Drew wrote that the film was "a deliberately paced and subdued stunner of a film that succeeds above all in its genuine approach of concern and respect for its realistically horrifying subject matter." You are so right, Ari.This horror film is "unconventional". The shocks and scares are mild and really it is a subject matter sort of thing. Much of the time, it almost comes off as a romance (and bromance). This is clever, and something not many people attempt to pull off. Or at least not many attempt and actually succeed.
