I Live In Your House

By the standards of horror-adjacent short films, where the most visible material often relies on someone leaning on the synths until the jump scare at the end, this is borderline godlike. Heck, there are feature films that don’t have the restraint of “House”, which all might be more indicative of the standards of modern horror than anything “House” does. (You’d have to pay me to watch “Smile”.) In a vacuum, this is perfectly fine, a decent little rumination on anxiety and whatever that doesn’t challenge the audience but also doesn’t insult them. Watch it once, laugh, and then move on.
