"Okay Jules – you're scaring me!" Do you feel safe in a vacation rental? Maybe... not anymore! This teaser trailer is for a new horror short film made by filmmaker Megan Freels Johnston (Rebound, The Ice Cream Truck) titled Dear Guest. It just premiered at the Monaco Film Festival (a "non-violent film" festival) and is expected to play at more fests this year, which is why they're releasing a trailer for it now. A couple checks into a vacation rental only to find out that the anonymous host likes to play games on its guests. Described as a "Twilight Zone-esque short film" or "modern day Hitchcock" that was made between feature projects. Starring Ashley Bell & Noureen DeWulf. This teaser is just a brief intro, but makes me want to see more.
