The Cable Guy

• Comedy
• Drama
• Thriller

A darkly comedic thriller unravels as a recently heartbroken man’s simple cable installation spirals into a suffocating obsession. What begins as awkward overenthusiasm from cable guy Chip quickly descends into unsettling stalking, fueled by Chip’s desperate need for connection and Steven’s escalating attempts to reclaim his life. The film subverts the buddy-comedy trope, presenting a chilling portrait of lonely desperation and the terrifying consequences of unwanted attachment, amplified by a satirical edge that skewers suburban anxieties. Unlike typical thrillers focused on overt danger, the tension lies in the frustratingly unacknowledged threat—no one believes Steven's pleas for help, dismissing Chip as harmless, allowing the psychological pressure to escalate into a uniquely disturbing and farcical nightmare.
