Will and his new girlfriend Kira are invited to a dinner with old friends at the house of Will’s ex Eden and her new partner David. Although the evening appears to be relaxed, Will soon gets a creeping suspicion that their charming host David is up to something.

VIBE

This is a masterclass in creeping dread, where social niceties mask a profound, unsettling tension. It feels like a tightly wound spring, slowly coiling towards an inevitable snap. The atmosphere is thick with suspicion and paranoia, making every smile and gesture feel loaded with potential menace, all within a deceptively familiar setting.
