That is what it is about

Another one of those calls! The woman on the other end repeats the warning about the coming war. Wyatt doesn't know who he can trust. Everyone around him seems to be gradually turning into these creatures. They nest, take control and destroy their hosts from within. Their goal? To wipe out humanity? Wyatt's escape to his old school friend Christian feels like the last chance. Is there still hope for humanity, or is everything already too late?

What you should know

What sounds like the remake of BODY SNATCHERS is actually one of the most exciting and novel independent films of recent years. From the very first second, a dark shadow settles over the screen, illustrating Wyatt's mental illness in a way never seen before. THEY LOOK LIKE PEOPLE takes you on a journey into a strange world where there is only a razor-thin line between truth and madness. An intense horror trip, but also an ode to friendship!
