The short film from director Chloe Carroll, The Housewife, teases a demonic presence at suppertime. A wholesome and outdated stereotype of a suburban family gather together for dinner in the preceding twenty minutes – plenty of time for a demonic entity that plays with the daughter to enter the body of her kitchen-bound mother.
With a mere 3-minute runtime, The Housewife reads more as a glorified YouTube sketch rather than a short film, dipping into the horror genre for a simple but cute button on an otherwise horrorless sketch – making play that the lady of the house will be a vengeful spirit from that dinner and forward. The film stars Mike Sutton, Aaralyn Anderson, and Yana Mulder.
