A home invasion leads to a truth that no one could have seen coming.
Overall, this was a pretty decent short. The general idea of the burglar going through the house and systematically taking what he wants and what he pleases gives this a rather unnerving edge that only gets better once the attention turns to the actual stalking of the family. The scenes of the killer taking his time and calmly yet brutally killing off everyone in the house, from innocently snapping someone's neck or ruthlessly stabbing them with a knife which signals the brutality he's capable of rather well.
Where this one stumbles slightly is the ending which is wholly confusing and makes no sense at all. The revelation about the invaders' identity and purpose is supposedly meant to be a shock but it's a complete guess who he is and what connection he has to the family as the speech about this purpose is buried under supposition regarding incidents we're not really privy to. Unless this has ties to something else that fills in the gaps about the history regarding the individual's appearance and the reasoning behind it all, it seems to be a big logic gap in what's going on and the main drawback to what's going on.
