This 2019 short film was presented by Alter in 2020.

TBH, I wasn't sure whether to put my review under "horror" or "weird". I think either category is a good fit, but ultimately I went with the former. Anyway... it's about a young man named David, who opens his door to a salesman who basically invites himself into the house, and tries to convince David to buy a new internet plan. David isn't really happy with his current service, but he lives with his parents, who aren't home right now, and he isn't really authorized to change service plans. The only other person at home right now is his sister, Jennifer, who doesn't trust the salesman. And you can't blame her, because the guy... is just weirdly persistent, to the point of becoming creepy and eventually menacing. The salesman definitely made me uncomfortable throughout the short film, even when he was acting friendly. There was always just something off about him.

Well, aside from being weird and creepy and eventually scary, the short is also funny in some parts. And... yeah, that's all I want to say.
