“Working here can be murder”
Directed by Cindy Sherman

The premise
When Dorine Douglas' job as proofreader for Constant Consumer magazine is turned into an at-home position during a downsizing, she doesn't know how to cope. But after accidentally killing one of her co-workers, she discovers that murder can quench the loneliness of her home life, as a macabre office place forms in her basement, populated by dead co-workers.
Horror Vault's take
A meek magazine proofreader finds herself unraveling when office restructuring strips away the only social world she has ever known. What begins as a tragic accident quietly unlocks something far darker lurking beneath her timid exterior. This pitch-black comedy from photographer-turned-director Cindy Sherman marries dry workplace satire with genuine creepiness, anchored by a memorably unnerving lead performance from Carol Kane. It's a singular oddity in the slasher canon — less stalk-and-slash, more slow-burn portrait of a woman quietly going to pieces.
