What Happens

Katelyn runs inside the house to avoid her abusive boyfriend, but he goes right inside after her, leaving friend Eric to wait in the car. Eric hears the two arguing and laughs; he’s seen it all before. Suddenly, the car starts up, but Eric sees that the keys aren’t in the ignition. The car isn’t laughing…

Commentary

This one is short, at under seven minutes, but it tells us everything we need to know. We see that Katelyn has been dealing with the abusive Jason for a while and that his friends just enable the behavior. If only someone or something was on her side. 

It’s very good. It all happens at night, but we can see everything, so the lighting is good. The acting does the job, and the special effects, although minimal, are effective. 

Well done!
