Spoiler-Free Judgment Zone
Great acting, great setting and special effects. An all-around good one that makes you wonder what is really going on.
Synopsis
Chris lays in bed and listens to the couple upstairs having rough sex. He rolls over and does the “itsy bitsy spider” thing up his boyfriend’s arm. He’s been gone for six months and hasn’t seen Jake since then, but Jake has to go to work today.
Chris stays home alone and finds an empty condom package in Jake’s trash can. Uh-oh. As he sits there being lonely, he spots a large spider on the bookshelf. The hunt is on!
Commentary
Chris doesn’t seem entirely stable from the start, and that’s all I have to say about that. It’s well filmed, well acted, and you aren’t sure where it’s going until it gets there.
I suspect there’s some metaphor here that I don’t quite understand that gives some overall cohesion to this. I missed the point along the line, but it’s definitely creepy and suspenseful.
