Well, well, well… we can’t decide if this is a serious psychological drama meant to spook viewers or a dark comedy that should have you rolling on the floor. But based on the pull quotes from early critic reviews for the movie Friendship, it’s supposed to be the latter.

Tim Robinson plays Craig Waterman, a married guy who enjoys nothing more than sinking into his couch during his free evenings. So when his wife accepts an invite for Craig to hang out with their new neighbor, he’s less than thrilled. Enter Paul Rudd as Brian, the effortlessly charming new neighbor who already seems to have a tight-knit friend group. Craig is quickly pulled into their circle, enjoying his newfound camaraderie, until Brian suddenly declares he doesn’t want to be friends anymore. That’s when all hell breaks loose.

Written and directed by Andrew DeYoung, the trailer for Friendship starts off like a heartwarming teaser for a feel-good movie about a lonely, boring guy who finally finds his people and transforms his life. Then – bam! – the second half swerves like a sudden car crash, turning into a thriller where your ex-friend goes full psycho stalker on you. It’s a confusingly interesting trailer which leaves you wanting to see the movie.
