Synopsis: Louise (Emily Hampshire), a waitress in an always empty Chinese restaurant, has a rather unhealthy attachment to her cats. Her relationships with her apartment mates aren’t much better. Her only friend, Spencer (Scott Speedman), is a caustic widower with a supercilious smirk who’s confined to a wheelchair. Meanwhile, newly arrived Victor (Jay Baruchel) is an overly friendly elementary school teacher who’s desperate for human contact. Victor’s painfully obvious interest in Louise upsets the routine that Louise and Spencer have developed – as does a string of unsolved homicides in the area, a subject that Louise takes an unseemly interest in.

I had to cover my eyes when one of the murders was going on, but then I heard the rest of the audience laughing. I opened my eyes and covered them again and then I opened them and started laughing, too. It was a guilty laugh, but what was going on was funny, gross, but funny. The ending is a complete surprise. The Toronto audience was wild for it. Baruchel plays a nerd, Hampshire is more into her cats than is healthy and Speedman is totally sinister behind that smile. I think this will take off like a rocket. The condom part is hysterical.
