Resolution

A man handcuffs his addict friend to a pipe in a remote cabin to force him through withdrawal over a week. Something in the area starts leaving them recordings, films and photographs of themselves that they have not made yet.

Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead made their debut for almost nothing, and it is a horror film about narrative: an unseen entity is telling their story and is dissatisfied with the ending, and keeps escalating the material to get a better one.

It is funny, low-key and builds a truly original cosmic dread out of the idea that you are a character and something wants a more satisfying third act.

It shares a universe with their later The Endless, which revisits the same location.

The friendship between the two leads is the reason the metaphysics land.
