This House Has People in It

The title speaks for itself. This house does in fact have people in it. Nothing else here.

No comment.

The odd Adult Swim "infomercials" series of sorts contains practically all of their best content (other than, obviously, Tim and Eric and The Eric Andre Show), and seems to be where they let their creators really have fun and go mad at play. Directed by the brilliant and twisted humorist, satirist, performance artist, and horror filmmaker Alan Resnick, the Adult Swim crew's own mini David Lynch, 'This House Has People in It' is unapologetically bizarre and occasionally confusing. It is an uncomfortable and genuinely quite creepy combo of comedy and chaos. It is surreal and scary and surprisingly hilarious, very much like practically every project worked upon by Mr. Resnick, and I love the man for it! Now, I am in all probability off to view various analysis videos of this along with a boatload of disturbed rewatchings!

I'll forgo a synopsis of 'This House Has People In It" because one can find and read it elsewhere. At first I thought the idea of using only security video footage to tell a story was a novel and interesting one but when the point of view changed such that it was impossible for the security camera to have captured it, the effect was jarring and annoying. That was my first gripe. My second was the response of the couple when they realized the unconscious girl had a problem. Who would not call 911 immediately? But they didn't and their odd behavior failed to suspend my disbelief. Then there was the peppering of viewer YouTube videos explaining THHPII. Most of the videos were longer than the original, some much longer. If a story needs to be explained then perhaps the story wasn't told well. I understand vague references are clever. I delight in esoterica but inside jokes and obscura do not a good story make. This House Has People In It spent too much time trying to show how smart it was. The final result was not as bad as, say, Plan Nine From Outer Space, but it wasn't nearly as much fun either. But it was mercifully shorter.

Im obsessed with the mysteries of this show. I have explored and investigated everything i could find. Every little detail is important and mind-blowing. Truly a masterpiece.

Absolutely loved this video, the title is so captivating and immediately gives a psychological horror atmosphere. Because there's indeed, clearly something about this house that we and the people inside don't know about. It starts of slow but suddenly stuf starts getting odd and starts giving you this uneasy feeling. The video does feel realistic with the actors so you feel the alienating vibe. Truly another horror classic from adult swim. They truly understand how to traumatize the viewer. And not even to mention the whole arg that is connected to this video. The rabbithole goes DEEP and I highly recommend researching this video further. Because there is 2+ hours of content buried in arg. There's just such a uncomfortable atmosphere surrounding this entire world and lore.
