About the film

Welcome to the Neighborhood.

What it’s about

After a mysterious bout of amnesia, a children's television host struggles to piece together his fractured memories. His once-cheerful puppet co-stars now behave with sinister intent. The line between performance and nightmare begins to blur.

What hooks you

Michael Gilio stars as James Jensen. Frank Cesario performs as Monkey and Profoctopus, with C.R. Thompson operating Monkey's hands. Aidan Leary directs and co-writes with Caleb Thompson.

Who it’s for

It is a good pick for those who enjoy psychological horror where the familiar turns threatening, and for viewers drawn to stories of fractured identity and creeping dread.
