Super reminiscent of Yorgos Lanthimos films, specifically Dogtooth. That stilted, other worldly, dialogue with a tone that bounces between absurd hilarity and mysterious horror. This is all emphasized by the fantastic performances and dynamic between Liam Aiken and Joe Adler. They really do a great job at portraying that intimate yet slightly awkward relationship between two friends who once we're very close but haven't been in contact for a while. The increasingly unusual goings on during their time together really do keep you wondering where things will end up.
Major props to the production design on this one. There's some really great costume choices and a really great filming location, that being this 60's or 70's era home that looks like it was a passion project by an architect.
It's short (1 hour and 12 minutes) and sweet. If you don't mind some purposeful slowness, this film deserves a watch, especially considering that I haven't heard anybody talking about this.

Short and sweet, but a slow burn that isn't for everyone.
Ponderous but ultimately flat thriller.
The wealthy young Joe Adler ("JP") invites his friend "Francis" (Liam Aiken) to come and stay with him and his twin sister "Viv" (Annalise Basso). Once he arrives there, though, there is no sign of the sister and pretty soon the young guest begins to wonder just what's going on with his increasingly eccentric host. There are slight hints of homo-eroticism now and again, but for the most part very little actually happens. The audience have a pretty clear idea from the outset as to what has occurred, and so we can't really join is as the increasingly bamboozled "Francis" tries to fathom out his friend and his strange behaviour. The ending is bizarre, but not in an especially interesting way and though I did quite like the intimate style of the photography, and the use of light to frequently generate some of the mystery, the dialogue and acting efforts themselves really are nothing at all to write home about.
Another worst horror film! Full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Avoid at all cost!
This film start with an unknown people coming out from the lake, and crawling into a closet scene! As turnout, this film is about Francis need to possess the house haunted by the so called "The Bloodhound", after the death of his friend "Jean Paul" and his twin sister "Vivian"! Entire film full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the crawling scene, overuse of the calling names scene, overuse of the staring scene, overuse of the eating scene, overuse of the drinking scene, overuse of the long angle background scene, and overuse of the closet shaking scene! Make the film unwatchable! At the end, Francis inherited Jean Paul's house! That's it! Wasting time to watch!
