Directed by Ross Langill
When masked intruders break into her remote home, a pregnant woman must fight back in real time — but in this deadly game of cat and mouse, it's not clear who's hunting who.

The scouts
A home-invasion thriller that flips the script on who's actually cornered—except it doesn't quite flip hard enough; the premise whispers subversion but the execution plays it mostly straight, which is exactly the kind of safe provocation that bores me.
Langill constructs a taut three-minute pressure cooker with clear formal command of spatial geography and tension escalation, the kind of economical craft that recalls elevated home-invasion cinema without pretension.
The real move here is the editing rhythm that collapses the distinction between attacker and defended—there's a specific cut or sound design choice that makes that ambiguity *feel* instead of just being stated, and that's what transforms a familiar premise into something with teeth.
