They’re Outside

The film is presented as a documentary focused on an unaired episode of the YouTube show Psychology-Inside/Out, where celebrity psychologist Max Spencer diagnoses and treats patients with various mental illnesses. After filming the episode he and his girlfriend Nicole, who also served as his cameraperson, disappeared off the face of the earth.

For the episode Max had planned to focus on Sarah, a woman living near Hastings and suffering from severe agoraphobia after the death of her daughter from a car accident. Max boasts that he can not only help Sarah, he can also have her leave her home in only ten days time. Once there Max and Nicole learn that Sarah believes in the local legend of Green Eyes, a practitioner of magic who would spirit people away to his home, after which they would never be seen or heard from again. Max is dismissive of the claims, even as strange things happen around him. He eventually learns that Sarah lied about her daughter’s death, as she claims that her daughter went missing in the forest and was taken by Green Eyes.
