See the films the platforms disagree about most →A young woman travels with her new boyfriend to meet his parents at their secluded farm during a snowstorm. The visit becomes increasingly unsettling as the family behaves strangely and the house seems to shift around them. Conversations spiral into philosophical debates, and reality itself begins to blur during a tense dinner and a trip to a deserted high school.
