In 2019, during those last fleeting moments before social distancing, the love of my life turned forty. This was a true milestone birthday, so I decided to throw him a surprise party. It took a lot of planning and even his best friend, from over a thousand miles away, came for the weekend. It was glorious and I believe that he had a great time. There was only one problem: he figured the whole thing out.
We’ve all been there. You planned something that felt like it was the most important thing in the whole world, poured time and effort into it, and one tiny incident can wreck it in an instant. Spilling punch on your wedding dress, tripping when meeting a date for the first time, a Freudian slip during your big presentation. It happens. Most of the time, we realize that it’s not the end of the world.

The phenomenon of films taking on the same subjects at the same times is well known these days, but in a year when two independent productions present us with dinner parties interrupted because the guests are infested by parasites, one has to wonder if there's something in the water. They are, however, very different in tone. Whilst Robert Woods' An Ideal Host is all fun and meta-cinematic games, this film, by Adam Leader and Richard Oakes, tackles the ugliness of the scenario head on.
The introductory scenes include time spent with young couple Jack (Neal Ward) and Lucy (Samantha Loxley) at home. It's a beautifully written, intimate piece of drama which gives both actors a chance to show what they can do and lets viewers engage with them before they undergo a transformation. Lucy reports seeing strange lights in the grass which, though small, make her unaccountably nervous. A few minutes.
