If They Look Like People hit the spot, these will too

The same preoccupation in both: paranoia
The difference: 39 years apart, and the 1970s show

Paranoia sits at the heart of each
The difference: Missing the dream logic of They Look Like People

Hallucination is the engine of both
The difference: Reviewed a good deal more coolly

Both built around mental illness
The difference: None of the dream logic that defines They Look Like People

Contemplative where it counts, dread-soaked underneath

Both keep circling back to mental illness

Both circle insanity and fear
The difference: Plays it as thriller more than They Look Like People does

Both land unease and twists at once

Both built around hallucination

Drama with a pulse of dream logic, in both cases

Both built around insanity

Horror built on stillness, twice over
In the mood for more contemplative?
