Determined to live the American dream, Brigid (Beanie Feldstein) and Richard (Steven Yeun) have recently rented their first apartment in Manhattan. Despite the outlandish rent, their new home is dark, dank, and undeniably creepy. Even so, the young couple have decided to host Brigid’s family’s annual Thanksgiving celebration.

Traveling from Scranton, Pennsylvania to visit the couple in their new home, Brigid’s parents Deirdre (Jayne Houdyshell) and Erik (Richard Jenkins) arrive with Erik’s mother Momo (June Squibb) and Brigid’s sister Aimee (Amy Schumer) in tow. With a mother who is far too critical, a father who drinks too much, a grandmother who suffers from dementia, and a sister who has recently suffered a painful breakup, Brigid and Richard’s first Thanksgiving in their new home is destined to be unforgettable.&nbsp;

As darkness falls outside, a sense of dread settles inside as eerie noises coupled with the gradual disclosure of personal secrets and micro-tragedies sets everyone’s nerves on edge. With each individual’s deepest fears laid bare, will the love that binds this family together be enough to give them the strength they need to carry on?

The Humans

Jong Su (Yoo Ah In) is a quiet introvert with a life full of sadness. His father has been charged with violent assault. His mother, who abandoned the family when Jong Su was still very young, occasionally returns – but only to ask him for money. And his once semi-rural neighborhood is in the process of being urbanized.

One day, he runs into a long-lost childhood friend named Hae Mi (Jeon Jong Seo). The two get to talking and rekindle their friendship. This friendship then turns romantic, but it may not last long, as she tells him that she is heading off to Africa to travel. Jong Su hopes that they will stay in touch. But when she returns, she does so in the company of Ben (Steven Yeun), an affluent, Porsche-driving big-city type who appears to have won Hae Mi’s heart.

However, Ben is a man of mystery, and one day confesses to Jong Su that he has a dangerous hobby: arson. He, and Hae Mi, then promptly disappear, leaving Jong Su eager to track them down – before Hae Mi’s passion for him quells, and Ben’s frightening pastime gets out of hand…

This film was based on a short story by Haruki Murakami.
