Destroyer

Directed by Judd Myers
Cary suspects his partner Joan is hiding something, follows her to an unfamiliar house, breaks in, and finds something from the non-human underworld. A psychological horror film where jealousy is the door to something much worse.

The scouts
He snoops through her phone and finds the underworld instead. The punishment fits the crime in the most cosmic possible way.
Judd Myers's psychological-horror frame for jealousy-and-non-human-contact is in the Jennifer Reeder / Bertrand Mandico neighborhood; the question is whether the dread is earned or atmospheric only.
Intimate relationship paranoia as a literal portal to the supernatural underworld — Frank Mosley breaking into an unfamiliar house finding something from the non-human is restrained-dread territory I'll always show up for.
