Deadly Still (2018)

Friends driving to a house in the middle of nowhere hit a deer which goes through the window.  They think the house is nearby, but also need help with the car. One heads back towards the road to get help, and the others look for the house.

They stumble upon a home which looks different than what they expected. But since it’s the only thing they see, they head inside and  look around. In one room they find a wall full of Polaroids, including a photo of the deer on the hood of their car.  They are far too cavalier about the photo.  How did it get there? Who took it? And where is that person now? And how did they get the photo after they left the car, yet post it on the wall before they got here?

The photo is so odd that one of the guys decides it must be a TV show. So there must be a film crew waiting for them at the car. Then they find the Polariod camera in the house and take a photo, and two of them head back to the car.  This group is split up all over the place.

While waiting for them to return, one of the girls finds film and a projector in the other room.  Oddly enough she knows how to thread a projector.  She starts watching a reel and learns learns the Polaroid is a temporal restructuring camera. It changes the space time continuum by removing any changes and destroying the object.  Why would anyone invent this? Things do not go well for our intrepid colleague students.

Ridiculous dialogue

Pal, I’m very happy you took photos of each other but I need to find Vera.

Not only did you kill Steru, but I spent fifteen years in prison and on top of that you stole his camera.

A deer comes through the windshield

Don’t do this while you’re driving.

What a fun trip.
