I HOPE YOU SUFFER OCTOBER FILM CHALLENGE: Amityville Job Interview (2023)

EDITOR’S NOTE: The I Hope You Suffer podcast said that “Since everybody is doing these movie challenges now, we made the only one worth doing.” Bring the pain.

Directed and written by Nick Box and Stuart Fitzsimmons, this was originally released in 2018 as Strange Vibes. It’s the tale of Alana (Jade Mason), a young woman who is a horrible employee and who can’t find a new job, leading to her being about to be evicted. To learn how to get a better job, she watches videos by Job Search Guy (Shawn C. Phillips) and 80s Popstar (Chan Walrus), thereby allowing two people to iPhone in their contribution to the movie.

This keeps going back to the job interview with Clare (Georgina Burford) and Ms. Vil Bitch (Sihona Robbins), each time with slight differences, as Ms. Vil is increasingly meaner and meaner to Alana and Clare. The footage also goes from black and white to color for no reason.

There are also numerous New Wave music videos that have nothing to do with the plot either. And if they do, I have no idea how. All I know is that Ms. Vil gives Alana a vibrator to kill her roommate and then asks her to shoot herself to prove her loyalty, which she does, and gets the job. She somehow survives this, too. It’s a spoiler but the ending is twenty minutes before the movie ends, so it doesn’t matter.

This also has nothing to do with Amityville, but when has that ever stopped these movies?
