When their marriage hits an especially rough spot, a couple, Ethan and Sophie (Mark Duplass and Elisabeth Moss), seek help from a marriage counselor (Ted Danson). When his work seems to be failing to bring the couple back together the therapist suggests a weekend trip to spend time alone.
The home is amazing! Everything you could ask for to allow you to spend a weekend reconnecting with your significant other. Stocked with excellent everything and complete with all manner of activities to be done together. On the grounds are two bungalows. One is marked “Guest House”. Something odd is going on in that house.
This film is a low budget film made in fifteen days. This information floored me. The quality of the film and the special effects will blow you away. These effects enhance one of the most intriguing scripts I have seen in a long time. The hooks and clever twists will grab you as strongly as they did me. If you are ready for a film that makes you think, this is the film for you. I don’t know that it is necessarily what I would call a date film but married couples will want to spend some time talking afterwards.
