Leanne (Kerry Newton) seems to have the perfect life, she has a nice
house, a handsome boyfriend, Eddie (Tom Coulston), who loves her, a good
job ... only things are everything but perfect, as of recent Leanne has
started to see things, things like her best friends (Josie O'Rourke, Jodie
O'Rourke) knocking on her door, killing the woman (Caisa Martin) who opens
but is unknown to Leanne, and then hide the body - but have they really
done this, when Eddie returns, nothing of this is there anymore, and later
that evening she finds Eddie and her friends and the supposedly killed
lady sitting at Leanne's dinner table making fun of her - so is Leanne
losing her mind, or is something even more sinister happening?
If you don't mind a "spoiler" up front, your guess
what's really happening in this movie is as good as mine - and that's
actually one of the key qualities of the short, it doesn't try to explain
away anything, but lending an aura of the inexplicable to things only adds
to its lead character's horrors which are mounting throughout the film. Of
course, an atmospheric directorial effort and cinematography which help
the narrative rather than overpower it really help in bringing its points
across, as does a strong central performance by Kerry Newton. Well worth
a look for sure!
