Short Film: The Dinner After (2023)

Synopsis

Angela arrives home at her parents’ house for dinner. She’s been away for a while, and she doesn’t seem terribly comfortable coming home. It’s all very awkward. They bring her favorite meal, roast chicken, but she says she’s always been a vegetarian. The parents seem to be confusing her for someone else; her father even calls her by the wrong name.

Someone here is delusional– but who? There are dysfunctional families, and then there’s… this.

Commentary

It’s all really well acted and shot. It looks great. Still, this is a horror short, not a family drama, so you know something is up…
