Paola (Humberly González) is braving the online dating scene when she finally finds what she thinks is a true match in Henry (Luke Volker), who is hot, smart, and likes all the same Turner Classic Movies that she likes. Against her sister's (Shaeane Jimenez) advice, Paola accepts an invitation to dinner at Henry's house, only to be greeted at the door by his mother (Dianne Simpson), the first of many rude awakenings she is going to have over the course of the next couple of days.
Ah, Millennial horror! This is a nice complement to Women's horror, which is again just stuff that happens to women. As someone who is newly single myself, it was very easy to relate to the character early on because the dating scene has always been exactly this bleak. Catfishing has always been a thing, as far back as Cyrano de Bergerac. Still, this was a highly entertaining horror romp, even if it verged a little far into overt grossness for me. There's some queer representation, a lot of disability representation, and most of the cast was people of color. If this is checking any of your boxes and you don't mind ad breaks, give it a shot on Tubi.
