This House Has People in It is a 2016 American found footage analog horror short film directed by Alan Resnick and produced by his production company, AB Video Solutions, with Williams Street. It premiered on March 15, 2016 as part of Adult Swim's Infomercials series. Framed as surveillance footage inside a suburban home, the 11-minute special follows parents Ann and Tom as they deal with the aftermath of an argument with their teenage daughter, who lies on the floor in protest. However, things turn worse as an invisible force begins to pull her through the floor, then attempting to do so to the people outside the home.
It was written by, produced by, and starred members of the Baltimore comedy collective Wham City, including Resnick, Robby Rackleff, Dina Kelberman, Ben O'Brien, and Cricket Arrison. A link at the end of the film led viewers to an alternate reality game (ARG) surrounding the film and created by Kelberman. The film received critical acclaim, particularly for its unsettling tone and its transmedia component. Many regard it as Alan Resnick's "masterpiece".
