Ejected by an overcrowded asylum and reassigned under a right-to-work policy, a childhood predator is delivered to a new town-where his only plan is to make the population zero.
Based on things that could happen-and in fact, have. When a clerical error sets a childhood monster free, state policy hands him a uniform and a delivery route. Now, in a town so small it barely exists on a map, packages arrive on time... but people start disappearing. Blending razor-wire satire with pulse-pounding psychological horror, DON'T ANSWER explores what happens when systemic failure meets unchecked violence. Anchored by a chilling breakout performance from Jack Amsler and laced with streaks of dark comedy, this unnervingly timely film dares to ask: what if the killer's already at your doorstep-smiling, scanning, and holding a five-star rating? Shot on location across San Francisco, Petaluma, Sacramento, and Nicolaus, California, and steeped in an eerie Americana aesthetic, DON'T ANSWER channels the suspense of Jaws, the rage of Falling Down, and the bureaucratic horror of Cuckoo's Nest-then drops them all into a bloodstained cardboard box marked "fragile."
