Richard Thomas (Greg Russell Tiderington) needs a room quiet enough to
allow him to study to become an English teacher - and he thinks he finds
that in landlady Mrs Baker's (Jacquollyne Keath) house. She seems nice
enough, extremely obliging, and basically, she has just one rule
concerning her house - "Whatever you do - don't open that door!" Well,
somehow I think you can figure out the rest of the story yourself (hint:
Curiosity killed the cat). Fun five-minute piece of film that
might not exactly be full of surprises, but just like the EC
Comics of old, even though you can figure out the ending early on,
you still like to watch it through to the end. And that the film is rather
subtly directed and well-paced doesn't hurt at all of course ...
