Things Will Be Different

Things Will Be Different is a 2024 American science fiction thriller film written and directed by Michael Felker in his directorial debut.

It stars Adam David Thompson and Riley Dandy as brother and sister robbers who use time travel to lay low after their crimes.

Joseph has made plans for the two to lay low at a remote farmhouse which apparently contains a closet with the ability to transport occupants into an alternative timeline if they follow instructions in a notebook.

The stranger questions their reasons for being there and states he intends to wipe any trace of their existence to protect the delicate balance of the farmhouse's abilities.

He informs them the only way to escape alive is to stay at the farmhouse and kill a mysterious visitor who will arrive at some unknown point in the future.

Wanting proof of the visitor's death, Joseph tells the stranger he left the body outside due to bad weather.
