15/11/19 They Look Like People (2015)

Nano-budget effort with a small cast and limited locations, about a fella who reconnects with an old friend and moves into his flat.

The lodger is receiving cryptic, late night phone calls instructing him to prepare for an apocalyptic alien invasion and he's increasingly seeing things that suggest to him the invaders are already here, having arrived by stealth and are assuming our identities.

Is it real, is he better informed than the rest of us about the danger ahead or is he a delusional wingnut with a head full of wrongbrain?

It's actually worth seeing to find out. Although not a classic, it does a very good job and is exactly the sort of reason why we watch so many smalltime, unlikely-to-get-a-derserving-audience films.

Having no money doesn't have to mean having no ideas.
