A guy (Bayden Ray Redshaw) revieves a video from a friend, containing a
weird and creepy figure - the Crimson Creeper (John H. Shelton) - reciting
the same lines, "What's done is done, two men become one," over
and over again while laughing maniacally. Now as eerie as the video might
be, at first our hero thinks little of it - but then he starts seeing and
hearing stuff from the video in real life, and now he makes a video, and
who's to say whether this is a warning for others or maybe his own epitaph
... A barebones but fun piece of paranoia horror that really
packs as much as it can into its less than 4 minutes of screentime and
gets the most out of its very skeletal narrative devices - on one hand the
creepy video, on the other a guy talking into a webcam - to build up the
right spooky atmosphere. It really feels more like the first act of a
longer movie than a standalone short - but after having seen this, it's a
longer movie I'd sure like to watch ... ...
and if this has at all made you curious, feel free to watch the short
