A briefcase brought by a member of the group the rest havent seen in almost a decade.
And this game is about to seriously mess everything up.
Thats the setup forIts What Inside, a newsci-fi thrillercoming toNetflixOctober 4.
Its Whats Insidebegins by introducing its seven, then eight, characters wholl be at the festivities.
Each person is very distinct and different, which is crucial.
That happens when nerdy Forbes (David Thompson) arrives.
Forbes was an outsider of the group and has been missing in action since college.
But if you want to learn more, without any major spoilers of course, lets continue.
The mystery equipment Forbes brings to the party is a machine that allows people to switch bodies.
Full-onFreaky Fridaystuff as consciousness moves from your body, into another, and back.
This is where things get really really interesting.
First of all we, the audience, are in on the game too.
Thats also due in part to everyones performances.
Then things get taken up a notch.
Plus, you always have a sense that everything is airtight.
That story alone, and its fallout, would makeIts Whats Insideworth recommending by themselves.
Its Whats Insidetakes a familiar conceit, turns it on its head, and shakes it for dear life.
Its wildly entertaining, constantly surprising, and hugely rewarding.
We cant wait to watch it again and again.
Its on Netflix October 4.
