Synopsis
1942, Brackwell, PA. A sad-looking man plays a record as a voice calls from elsewhere, “Let me out! I want to go home!” The screaming intensifies as the credits roll.
We cut to the same man, carrying in a body wrapped in a sheet. He uncovers it in the basement, and we see it’s a woman.
The man sits on the side of the bed, contemplating his actions until the screaming starts again. He eventually calms down and goes back downstairs to the woman, who is dead with a chunk bitten out of her neck. But he’s feeding his master, so he’ll at least be nice to him right? Right?
Commentary
The loud jump scare was out of the blue and got me, I admit it. The old-style music and ambient sounds really make this film shine. The period-perfect locations do a great job of setting the mood as well. We aren’t sure why he was trapped in his role, but he’s not happy about it.
