ABOUT THE FILM:

Newly minted homeowners Lucas and Jenny think their future is finally coming together—until they discover their suburban retreat includes a very literal homeowners’ association
 that fights monsters. Each Equinox, hell’s horde erupts from an otherworldly portal, and the HOA doubles as the neighborhood’s supernatural defense force. What follows is a 70-minute cannonade of wicked gags, explosive creature mayhem—from witches to kung-fu zombies—and self-aware gore that gleefully slips genre rules the middle finger.

William Bagley’s horror comedy wears its ridiculousness proudly, playing like a fevered midnight movie where suburban dullness meets over-the-top fantasy carnage. It’s absurd, relentless, and brilliantly low-budget, with pun-loaded one-liners, manic energy, and a bizarre love letter to owning a home—provided you don’t skip the fine print.
