A man is working on making dinner alone at home. We watch him through the window from the very well-lit patio. He soon goes upstairs and watches a video about the history of Christmas, Saturnalia, and Yule.
Suddenly, the lights go out. He checks out the lamp, and the bulb has been removed. He goes into the kitchen, and the bulbs have been removed there as well. The patio has gone dark; no bulbs. He finds a bulb in a drawer and turns on the light…
Bad idea!
Commentary
I’m not quite sure what the connection of the Yule video has with the monster, but it was included for some reason, so I guess it’s a monster from history. The camera work is good, especially since much of the film is dark, and the quiet music and sound effects add a lot to the mystery of the story.
I don’t think I completely understood the “lore” part of the story, but it’s well done!
