Good story, Not enough for a whole film

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This is a pretty well done low budget movie. One good thing with low budget is that they don't rely on scary videos but use psychological fear to make the viewer enjoy it. This has been done pretty well in this movie. The acting is good and we can see Wyatt's struggle with losing his mind. I never doubted that it was a mental health issue, but it actually made the movie more worth watching. One keeps on looking what to expect from him next. Whether he will crush under it and kill somebody. It is a bit slow. So I admit being bored at some point. But it is all worth it as it keeps on building up towards the last 20 minutes which were a thrill to watch showing us the topic of friendship and trust in this case. And it is amazing how Christian trusted him, because this is where I absolutely wasn't sure how it will end.

Honestly, me and my friends are going to stop shaving, cast an "adorkable" ingenue in the female lead and wander around in silence. We'll stop to glare at each other while playing minimalist techno in the background once in a whileWe'll substitute character development and a logical story-line for jump-cuts and a premise that could not unfold in reality, ever.When we need to we'll bend and twist the story to do whatever we want in order to get to the big cool scenes we want to do. LIke oh I don't know, maybe the main character gets fired by his girlfriend, because his co-workers think he's an asshole...The US press keeps bitching about fake news, so how come movie critics aren't up in arms about this new "fake movie" craze?

I skimmed the IMDB reviews and thought, okay, "It's going to be a slow burn, it's not about jump scares, it's an indie film, but with a 6 it's gotta be worth it, right?" The only thing scary or remotely psychologically disturbing about this experience was that I didn't turn it off after 15 minutes like my gut told me to. It was the longest 80 minutes I've spent being trudged through a movie all year. This is an art school vanity project by an art school student who may have heard hipster voices at the Brooklyn dive bar where this was conceptualized late one night after one too many telling him to make this movie. The voices were likely drunk friends with cameras. Real voices. Now that's scary.

Despite being advertised as such They Look Like People is NOT a horror, let's be very clear on that.They look Like People though creepy a couple of times is a psychological thriller and not a very good one at that.It tells the story of two reunited friends, one of whom secretly believes that body snatcher like creatures are taking over the planet and is being consumed by his obsession. He finds himself questioning whether he should try and save his one and only friend or flee.This is yet another mental illness portrait movie, is dark gritty but doesn't represent sufferers particuly well.Though I see what they were going for I believe this is a thorough swing and a miss and probably would have been better served as a horror after all.One for fans of this niche only.The Good: Couple of creepy momentsThe Bad:Rather dullAmbiguousQuestions left unansweredThings I Learnt From This Movie:Demons have a weakness, it's sulfuric acid! Who knew?!
