Superhost
Two travel vloggers hope to stem their dwindling follower count by spending the long weekend in an exclusive getaway in the middle of the forest. But as Superhost Rebecca starts exhibiting increasingly peculiar behavior, the couple begins to fear for more than just their digital existence. With his satirical horror comedy, director Brandon Christensen expertly forges a bridge between profoundly disturbing situations and laugh-out-loud jokes, both moored in Gracie Gillam’s acting chops as she gives us a gloriously unhinged Rebecca—a nightmare for the Airbnb community.
NIGHT OF 1000 KNIVES

And remember: All who stay till the end will receive a coveted, extremely limited badge pin with original artwork.
