trying to be better about promoing my work i’m proud of so if u wanna check out my latest newsletter about scammer media and various iterations of the genre of late, here’s the link!
Day 24
Reflections on: There’s Someone Inside Your House(2021)
- Full disclosure: I mostly watched this because I know one of the actors in this - Ryan Beil, who plays Dave the creepy Uber driver.
- I was pleasantly surprised how much corn is referenced in the film, which is set in “a proud corn town” in Nebraska (yet was filmed in Vancouver). The high school football team is the Cornhuskers, the finale takes place in a corn maze, and there are signs all around town that say “Corn in the USA”.
- At one point one of the teens (played by Théodore Pellerin AKA Cody Bonar from On Becoming a God in Central Florida) takes his crush to a cornfield where she recites her secret poetry in the “ocean of corn”!
- The murderer taunts his victims with photos of their *secrets* printed on full colour 8.5″ x 11″ pages. If they want to find out who the killer is they just need to go to the local Staples and find out who is constantly buying more printer ink cartridges!
- This felt a bit like I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) but a bit dumber which is FINE BY ME! I love dumb teen content!
- Further full disclosure: before I finished this post I went to a comedy show on halloween. It was Ryan Beil’s show and he named me one of the costume contest winners. My costume was corn.
- Praise the corn lord.
