"The Strange Thing About the Johnsons" is a short film that employs psychological realism to tell a story for the sole purpose of shocking, offending, and frightening the audience. Horror movies do that. It's sort of like comedies trying to make people laugh. This movie succeeds brilliantly in shocking, offending, and frightening the audience so I have to say "well done" to the nasty little creep who wrote and directed it. Well done, Ari Aster. Please make lots more horror movies. I love them. Later, you might want to get some therapy
