Netflix’s official synopsis for this 91-minute film is pretty bare-bones. The viewer here basically follows a wealthy couple who arrive at their vacation home and come face-to-face with a robber. The cast members’ parts are similarly minimalist in their respective descriptions. Collins plays, simply, the “wife.” Plemons is the “CEO,” and Segel’s character description reads, simply, “nobody.”
The original screenplay was based on a story from Segel. And was written by McDowell as well as Andrew Kevin Walker. “It’s interesting that you analyze it as ominous and scary because of shots of a beautiful space, and that’s what I hope people get from it,” McDowell continued. “You’re always trying to figure out where this is going, and I certainly leaned into that with the music and the script of film. I wanted it to feel much like a classic noir and have it big in this space … It is an independent film. It is all shot at one location, so you could view that as a tiny film.
