They Look Like People

They Look Like People is a 2015 independent psychological horror film shot, edited, written, produced and directed by Perry Blackshear.

It stars MacLeod Andrews as a man who believes humanity is being secretly taken over by evil creatures.

After Christian falls asleep, Wyatt receives an anonymous phone call, where a muddled voice tells him he only has time to save himself, and he must leave the city and prepare for demonic invasion.

Wyatt receives subsequent phone calls, this time in Mara's voice, alerting him to ominous signs of the apocalypse and the demons' nature, specifically how they infect humans.

Wyatt stockpiles weapons in Christian's cellar and alternately contemplates both suicide and the murder of passersby he believes possessed.

Wyatt invites Mara to explore the house and takes her downstairs to show her his weapon stash.

[2] Horror websites Fangoria and Dread Central both wrote positive reviews for the film; Dread Central's Ari Drew wrote that it was "a deliberately paced and subdued stunner of a film that succeeds above all in its genuine approach of concern and respect for its realistically horrifying subject matter.

[5] Screen Anarchy and SciFiNow also gave the film positive reviews, and both felt the actors and the director were highlights.
