Who is the killer in There’s Someone Inside Your House?

During the final showdown in the cornfield, we find out that the killer is Zach Sanford. His final victim is his father. Zach’s entire reason for killing all those people was because he became sick of people in town hiding who they really are.

He thinks everyone is wearing a mask and keeping secrets, hence his mask gimmick. Essentially, Zach went after anyone that reminded him of his dad’s hypocrisy. He intended to murder Makani, too, and pin all of the murders on her.

1428 Elm chats with the killer himself!

Dale Whibley, who portrays Zach in the film, chatted with 1428 Elm about his reaction to finding out he would be playing the killer in the movie and the details on that crazy ending showdown in the cornfield.

"Dale Whibley: It was mind-blowing because when I first read Zach it wasn’t technically revealed to me that he was the killer. So later when we had our director sessions and Patrick let me in on the script I was like, “really?!” Like this is big stuff. It was exciting for me because, a lot of my career I’ve played, sometimes fluffier characters. So it was nice to have a character I could sink my teeth into and really put the work in and Sydney [Park] was the best scene partner I could ever ask for, she was so giving. It was a great experience, it was really nice."
