Plot, Release Date, Cast & The Ending Explained Premiered on October 6th on www.netfllix.com With Halloween right around the corner, there's a new TV-MA horror film with a twist on the classic masked killer trope titled There's Someone Inside Your House. This Netflix original was produced by Atomic Monster Productions (Annabelle, Conjuring 2, Lights Out) and 21 Laps Entertainment (Stranger Things, Shadow and Bone, Free Guy). There's Someone Inside Your House introduces believable teens to the horror genre. A group of students attempt to escape a serial killer led by Makani Young, played by Sydney Park. In contrast to cringeworthy Hollywood versions with 30-year-olds playing teens unbelievably, this slasher film creates a believable story that audiences can buy into. Makani and her friends at Osborne High School aren't like your typical heroes. Those four are a tight-knit group of semi-outcasts who enjoy living in their own bubble: Darby, Rodrigo, Alex, and Zach. The show provides marginalized people with the opportunity to take charge of their own lives and create a space for people to talk about oppression and discrimination in a small town. Jackson's death in his own home doesn't actually break the hearts of Makani's group. The city is shocked to learn that Jackson brutally hazed fellow football player Caleb.
In the midst of grief, how do you learn that someone has done something terrible? With a second murder, this time of the white supremacist student council president Katie, the police decide to interview all seniors. Ollie, Makani's ex-boyfriend, is creepy enough to fit the loner serial killer description, but he doesn't seem like someone who would be behind the crime. Despite ignoring him since she started school, Makani finds comfort in him. After the town's corn industry is taken over by an abusive politician, Zach (the son of the politician) throws a "Secret" Party so that personal secrets can be revealed and the killer's weapon removed. Her friends are unaware of her background in which she was assaulted, forcing her to push a girl into the bonfire. However, the party would soon turn into a bloodbath when the killer attacked Rodrigo and revealed that he was addicted to painkillers. A taser is one of the murder weapons used in this brutal murder outside Zach's house. The murder of Rodrigo has a major impact on the characters and the school is closed for the whole month of October. As the younger brother of the police deputy, Alex believes Ollie is liable for Rodrigo's death and is convinced of his guilt. However, Ollie's protection is inviolable due to his relationship with the deputy. In an effort to build a lasting relationship instead of sneaking around, Ollie takes Makani to an "ocean" of cornfields. Makani's tragic past is revealed, causing Ollie to be even more anxious when he finds a taser in his glove box. Dave, the ever-present Uber driver, takes Makani to her empty house in a panic. As Makani awakens in the middle of the night with her safety precautions disabled, things take a turn for the worse. As Alex arrives at Makani's house in time to save her, she manages to escape murder. However, her identity has already been revealed. Makani believes the attacker to be Ollie, who is taken into custody. As Makani recovers in the hospital, she tells her friends how she was hazed by seniors on her varsity swim team. As a result, she left one of her teammates with permanent scars after she pushed her into a bonfire. Despite Makani's acquittal, she has trouble leaving the memories behind.
Having accepted Makani's past as it is, the group becomes closer. When Ollie is released from custody by his brother, he goes straight to Makani, who waits for her friends by herself at school. The killer stabs Caleb before placing the bloody knife in Makani's hands as she runs away. After Ollie saves Caleb, it is revealed that he is a red herring. This weekend is the city's annual corn festival, which the killer is likely to target. Makani, Ollie, Darby, and Alex race to the festival in the hopes of saving Zach, but find the entire cornfield on fire. A path of escape for the people inside is created by driving straight through the corn maze. Makani and Ollie search for Zach in the corn maze. The killer appears just in time to kill Zach's father... but who is he? Not anyone else but the friend they are desperately searching for. Zach stabs Ollie in an intense but darkly humorous climax and explains how labor-intensive the killing has been. He starts ranting about how he's denied who he was all his life: Why should he feel guilty for growing up privileged? In society, everyone wears a mask, just like the ones he fabricates from his victims. Zack's mission is to reveal the real person beneath the surface. His plan is now to put the blame for all the murders on Makani: Jackson, Katie, Rodrigo, Ollie, and his father. The chilling twist is that Makani kills Zach first, stabbing him twice. Things returned to normal after a while. Alex, Darby, and Caleb are preparing for college, while Makani is calling the former teammate she burned. In her graduation speech, Makani concludes the movie with her own poetry.
Why is the Ending is like this? The hypocrite Zach Sandford is just like the society he despises. Despite being close friends with Makani, Alex, Rodrigo and Darby, he feels like an outcast everywhere. There is no way to escape his oppressive father, a ruthless city leader who is despised by residents. In spite of his friends' acceptance, Zach has the privilege of being different, and is incapable of ignoring it. His shame at belonging to a family that destroys everything for wealth, exacerbated by the harassment he receives from classmates, has led him to see the injustice of his birth. Zach vents his anger instead of dealing with it constructively. The ideology he holds turns into a sense of loathing for the society that's forced him to hold it. Instead of taking responsibility for his shortcomings, Zach points the finger at others around him. The goal of his mission was to prove mankind as inherently evil. Unfortunately, Zach fell into the pit he dug for himself. It felt like society was trying to make him feel ashamed about his privilege, so he chose to make society disappear rather than confront his emotions. When Zach received the negative effects of his father's work, he instead walked towards the evil rather than working against it to make a better world.
Makani's writing is interspersed throughout the film. At the end of the film, she reads one of her longer poems that she delivered during the graduation ceremony at Osborne High School. Throughout her poem, Makani refers to both her personal story and the inherent goodness of humanity. In the wake of her traumatic experience, she saw the negative in society. She thought her innocence had been snuffed out and she had lost her youth. However, Makani had trouble facing her past even after she made a new life for herself in Nebraska. Support and encouragement from family and friends gave Makani hope. Despite all the sorrow she had suffered, the people she trusted helped her stay afloat. Sharing her secret only strengthened their bond. Makani's poem hopes to show that there is still good in the world. When you're willing to share your insecurities and secrets with others, you can become a better version of yourself.
