The Strange Thing About the Johnsons

The Strange Thing About the Johnsons (2011) is a short horror drama you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Ari Aster in his debut short film, it runs just 30 minutes — and stays with you far longer.

The Johnsons look like any other suburban family. Sidney writes books, his son seems fine on the surface. Underneath, the domestic arrangement has curdled into something controlling and deeply wrong — and Sidney has no way out. Billy Mayo and Brandon Greenhouse play father and son with an unsettling, deadpan conviction. Watch The Strange Thing About the Johnsons (2011) online on iFILM.
