May has a problem. Every night, a man comes to her house and tries to kill her and her husband. Every night, they fight the intruder off, kill him, wait for the body to disappear, call the cops, and have breakfast. When she asks her husband about what s happening, his answer is simple: that s the man who comes to kill them every night. And every night, they kill him, and every night he comes back. It s just this thing they deal with now, he explains.
That he is so matter-of-fact about it, like he s remembering to add milk to the grocery list, is an indicator of the quietly bizarre plight of May, played by Brea Grant. The dapper slasher (Smith) that invades her home is just one of those things you deal with. Although, it s mainly May dealing with it, it s just spilling over into everyone else s life, and they re OK with it because it s all part of that
