Frightfest Podcasts: #14 – They Look Like People

Two once close friends meet up in New York after ten years. Christian is a hip marketer trying to increase his personal coolness. Wyatt has just left his job as a nunnery gardener. Wanting to reconnect, Christian asks Wyatt to stay over. But at 4 a.m. Wyatt receives a call telling him to prepare for war, leave the city and beware of infection. Should he protect his best friend from the impending apocalypse, or from himself? Audacious, unsettling, full of tension, emotion, creative boldness and heartfelt compassion, this brilliant feature debut is a master class in independent budget filmmaking.

With the film set for its European Premiere at Frightfest, Nerdly writer and host of the Britflicks podcast, Stuart Wright, speaks to They Look Like People director Perry Blackshear.

They Look Like People screens at Frightfest on Sunday 30th August at 9.00pm in Discovery Screen 1.
