Short Film Screening Block
Rebellion
Three reno-victed millennials break into an abandoned mansion to seek temporary refuge. Inside, the house is eerie but clean and stocked with food and supplies. As the trespassers begin to relax, the house slowly reveals its true nature. Objects start to disappear, as though being absorbed into the furniture and walls. Before long, the trio realize that the house isn't just empty; it's famished!
