The premise
Here’s the bit.
A couple settling in for an uneventful weekend receive a text announcing that visitors are almost at their door. They gradually remember inviting a cousin and her husband months earlier. Flashbacks reveal marathon talk and lengthy video recommendations, while an old email adds a crowded restaurant and an immersive play to their itinerary. Ordinary social obligations become a sinister movie trailer, complete with ominous titles and escalating panic. The arrival of luggage brings a final unwelcome discovery about the length of the visit.

So, what are you up to this weekend?

Chris and I are gonna hang at home, which is exactly what I need. We've had something to do the past five weekends in a row, so I'm very much looking forward to doing literally nothing.

Chris ?
Who's that, babe?

From Blumhouse, the studio that brought you Insidious, and Annabelle, Rise of Hordal, comes a terrifying story about when the thing you agreed to do four months ago is today.

Chris ?
How can this happen?
- 00:46

Let me think! The 4th of July. My mom's barbecue. She said she wanted to come to the city in the fall.

Oh, my God, we should go visit you!

The one who runs marathons.

Tokyo, I ran a 5'15", 28, but I hadn't trained. You really want to get into Berlin. The way I see it, losing toenails is a badge of honor.

It's okay. This is okay.

Chris.
