Bayview Entertainment will be bringing Brit
filmmaker Will Terran’s house-sitting comedy, Homesitters, to
the domestic DVD marketplace on Apr. 28.
Annabelle (Amelia Newbould — The
Really Real Housewives of Crouch End, id-iology) is
a “professional” homesitter, which isn’t really the case, she’s actually a
scammer who lands gigs watching people’s homes while they are on vacation and
invites Simon, (Stewart O’Reilly — The Twisted Death of a Lonely
Madman, id-iology),
her boyfriend, over to party.
Once they’ve drank themselves stupid — and have had
sexual escapades in every nook and cranny of their current client’s home — they
get what they can (nothing that will be noticed right away) and then tidy the
place up and move on (it is best that the client’s don’t learn of kinky things
they’ve done in their absence, EVER).
Simple enough, although you never really understand how
Annabelle has any references, but no matter as that is quite beside the point. Problems arise for the pair when their latest
assignment literally goes up in flames.
Robbing places and messing with things is one thing, but destroying a
home completely puts them in the crosshairs of the law and that means they need
to take it on the lamb.
What to do?
What to do? The solution, they
had inadvertently crossed paths with a “cat burglar” early in the proceedings
and now reconnect. The thief is simply
known as “Cat” (Ellen Man), who has problems of her own, but who is more than
willing to team up with them to make some quick scores to raise enough money to
make a clean getaway.
What could possibly go wrong with that plan?
Homesitters is a
quickly-paced black comedy with a British touch — filming took place in and
around Bristol — that hits all the right notes. Just a thought, but you might want to avoid
giving Annabelle the keys to your place … and don’t watch the surveillance
footage if you do!!
