They Look Like People (2015)
Directed by Perry Blackshear
I wish I could remember how I stumbled upon They Look Like People, but I’m so glad I did. It’s a subtle, understated psychological thriller that relies entirely on good writing, good performances, and the viewer’s imagination. There is very little in the way of special effects, save for some truly inspired sound design, but director Perry Blackshear does a wonderful job of facilitating the viewer in filling in those blanks ourselves. Is Wyatt crazy? Or has he really seen something he wasn’t supposed to see?
