A stormy night: A woman's (Alexia Zahedi) home alone, with only a
shopwindow mannequin keeping her company. Her boyfriend keeps texting her
to promise her he'll be there soom but seems to run into delay after
delay. And yet, somebody seems to be in the house, as the lights go on and
off at random, doors open and shut when they shouldn't - and where has
that mannequin gone all of a sudden? A rather wonderful horror
miniature that wastes little time on backstory, explanations and the like
but pushes the audience right into the thick of it, and focusing on
whatever suspense the scene has to offer - and doing a great job at that,
thanks to a cleverly built up story, an expert directorial effort, and of
course a strong performance by Alexia Zahedi. Well worth a look!
