A love letter to horror and the Halloween season.
6 October 2020
'They Live Inside Us' is the debut feature from filmmaker Michael Ballif. His previous work includes the anthologies series, 'The Witching Season', which focuses on stories specific to the Halloween season. The story is dark and complex but compelling. It also has moments of reprieve with subtle comedy. Ballif painstakingly captures not only the look and spirit of Halloween so wonderfully, he uses the film to pen a love letter to the horror genre and pay tribute to many sub genres within as well. This is a strong first feature for a young filmmaker. The practical effects, stunning cinematography, and incredible set design feel much more mature than a low budget horror film. This is definitely a film to check out.
