Synopsis

A woman looks at a photo and says she really wants this to work. She drinks something nasty from a wine glass.

Bill, the man in the photo, suddenly winks at her. The lights blink for a bit, and the photo changes again. Can Bill come back from the dead? Does she really want him to?

Commentary

It’s short and really creepy. It’s got a bit of a “Monkey’s Paw” vibe going on, but it’s well films and the effects are well done. It’s so short that it’s barely even a story, but what is there works well and is a lot of fun.
