What makes us human? How do we measure about the beasts and monsters of the land, creatures lacking knowledge and operating on instinct? Do Wyatt and Christian ever overcome their insecurities, their struggles as men, attempting to move forward in a hostile landscape? They Look Like People could describe someone puzzling if anyone they know is truly human, a person and not something masking their alien nature under a flesh suit. Once you consider this notion and unlock the doors of paranoia, life becomes terrifying.
While Christian attempts to make contact with Mara, someone who could aid him in moving forward, Wyatt struggles with reality. I love how twisted this film is at times, and yet it basks in moments such as three people getting drunk and having a good time, or two old buddies reliving glory days of old. Perry Blackshear has crafted a wonderful, frightening and modern day urban take on fear and anguish, fights to achieve clarity in a world lacking in solid ground to hold onto. Glance into the abyss yet don’t fall in or linger about. You might not like what you see on the other side.
