After the apocalypse, Pumpkin (Milly Shapiro from “Hereditary”) is the last girl alive on Earth. Alone in a devastated world, she spends Halloween night searching for some company, clinging to the hope that there is still someone out there to talk to, laugh with or simply share her fear. When someone finally knocks on her door, Pumpkin comes to the sad realization that she is better off alone than in bad company. Her visitors bring with them a threat far more sinister than any creature she could have imagined — the false appearance that they mean her well — and suddenly she finds herself forced to booby-trap her own home to survive. At just 80 precious minutes, it’s a Halloween potion with all the right ingredients: candy, pumpkins, the end of the world, a friendship born from adversity and a DIY manual for how to get rid of unwanted guests.
