[@CyberCactus]

This kind of like threateningly uncomfortable atmosphere is perfect setup to horror, every scene is so sterile and surreal, the characters are so complacent with everything around them that they could just stumble into something horrifying or pull something out without warning; the unease you feel is a result of the fact these characters are so foreign and unpredictable, and that they could drop the viewer into something utterly disturbing at a moment's notice without any prior indication. The lungs were like a taster, a threat of what could potentially appear later in the short, but didn't. It leaves you expecting it to pay off something horrible at a moment's notice.

[@fiddygd8304]

[@pietrayday9915]

It's exactly what the moments before a panic attack feels like. With a hefty dash of De-Realization/De-Personalization thrown in, too... like I'm watching events that should concern me unfold from some weird, detached distance, where I'm powerless to understand or do anything about it. I used to get that all the time after decades of secondary PTSD leading into regular and terrifying Sleep Paralysis attacks with bizarre hallucinations would leave me feeling weird and emotionally and psychically detached all day, sometimes punctuated by a panic attack when I come crashing back to earth after other people get too weird and I'm not able to get out of the interaction (such as coworkers I can't avoid escalating workplace drama around me that I can't get out of.) It would be at the point of the panic attack setting in that reality would seem less real than the sleep paralysis night-terror did, and my interactions with other people would feel like I'm watching a Monty Python sketch with John Cleese gone violently wrong (the sort where his characters wold start screaming and ranting and randomly hitting people with hammers), after a day of watching a real-life "May I Please Enter" unfold around me building up to that moment of nameless, irrational, uncontrollable panic out of nowhere, like someone suddenly turned the sound and emotion on.... I almost miss those sleep paralysis episodes now, there was something strangely comforting about even the most unsettling and disquieting De-Realization/De-Personalization experiences. I don't miss the panic attacks, though.

I think a theme here is deception. The first things they say to Alan are lies: "We BOTH decided to let you in our home.", and, "No, leave your shoes on." When she clearly didn't decide to let him in and everyone else is barefoot. Upon rewatching, they lie about a lot... "This is our soft couch." "We watch television in the night." "The other people are asleep." They seem a little off when he asks where they got the "animated sayings". The cookies and coffee looked more like cakes and water. Alan asks a lot of questions that would be obvious to spot a lie, like "what room is this?" and "is this the mirror?" John doesn't make any statements that might be considered an opinion. Their "weapon" is a huge set of lungs and John is disturbed by it. After being lied to back-to-back by John, Alan goes upstairs and is about to jump over the railing. ...that's all I've got for now. Edit: and the whole premise of the bit is that their home looks beautiful from the outside, when viewed from afar

[@nobodyimportant9056]

All perfectly fine observations, except for the fact that I wouldn't call telling him to keep his shoes on a lie. Just because they're barefoot in their own home doesn't mean they want him to be. As odd as the interaction is, it's still not an actual lie such as telling Alan that the people are asleep when one man is awake and looking at him and the others appear dead. That's all I have to add.

Wait.... this was actually reminds me of a Korean cable TV show called 한끼줍쇼 (Hankki Jubsyo) or 'Let's Have Dinner Together' as the english title. The show has 2 MCs, basically going around some neighborhood, and ask some households/families on that neighborhood if they want to have dinner together before the clock strikes 8 p.m. They sometimes have guests with them and competing as 2 different teams. If there happens to be no families want to have dinner together with them, they are considered lose (although there is no punishment whatsoever, bcs this show is, I think supposed to be 'healing', considering it was aired every Wednesday at night). If there happens to he 1 family willing to have dinner together with them, well, the MCs and crew going into the house, as the crew also films the dinner preparation of each household, while the MCs are often talk with the family abt pretty much everything (how many years they've been livinh in that house, how was the first encounter between the husband and wife, what kind of job the family do everyfay, etc etc), so I think this was like a twisted version of that show, but i also watched some Alan Resnick stuffs, and it's a bit wholesome compared to his other works hshdhd

The hosts showing the house is representative of them showing their posts. The photo section represents how we want to show ourselves at our best online, but the truth is sometimes the opposite. The sayings on shelf are just memes. The overarching theme is that social media is kind of a shitty way for humans to communicate with one another. ANyways, just my interpretation.

She expresses serious fear about him entering their home, but then agree to let him in for 5 minutes (which ends up being way more than 5 minutes). The point of this entire thing is that things shift between two contradicting states and therefore it’s unreasonable to try to find a one-to-one correlation between this and anything else.

Alan feels like a parent dropping in unannounced to visit their grown children: judge their living conditions, friends, political views, the friends family life etc. There's the commentary about a younger generation living in a houses together without any familial or romantic connection. John's hunching over in his chair like he's embarrassed, walking away from conversations when something controversial like the 'weapon' appears in the hallway. Alan even wearing what appears to be a dress at the end. Then there's the bit about Amy not trusting him because he's dressed like a colonialist, referencing a generation that took everything without apologizing or trying to make up for it. She seems kind of passive aggressive and resentful of Alan's present throughout. I don't know, maybe I'm just thinking about the holidays coming up. Could mean something else.

alan resnicks work is an amazing example of doing horror correctly. no jump scares or scary music, but rather an uncomforting atmosphere that keeps you on the edge of your seat, along with seemingly inhuman objects and actions.

At first I thought the cowboy guy was going to turn out to be a vampire because of the myth that vampires can only enter homes when invited in. He was strangely persistent in entering. I wonder if this video has any meaning to it or if it is just supposed to be random, strange, and uncomfortable to give a sense of humor.

[@yaj126]

Oh bro, you didn't get the real meaning? It's a metaphor for existance man the house is life and mr cowboy is the inner child and the chinese chick is God, bro get woke

i think it represents how america (the cowboy) likes to enter other peoples countries (homes), then force other people to explain their culture only to force individuals to comply and conform to american ideas

My favorite part is at 5:13 because of how genuinely unnatural it all feels. He gets off the couch as if the footage is reversed and proceeds to walk to and up the stairs in a way that looks really unnatural. I can't tell if the footage was reversed or if Resnick was such a good actor and the camera movements were so good that he made it look like it was.
