The Out-of-Towners
“When they take you for an out-of-towner, they really take you.”
Comedy
A trip to New York for a job interview turns into a trip to hell for a small town couple.
VIBE
A disorienting, anxious plunge into urban anonymity. The city swallows you whole, a chaotic, darkly comedic descent into existential dread. It feels like being lost in a foreign land, even when you're supposed to be home.
