Synopsis

Scarlett wakes up with a nosebleed. She panics and cries. It seems that this is something she’s experienced before, as she appears to be sickly. Then she reaches into her mouth and pulls out a tooth. That seems to be new for her. She gets a concerned call from her mother, and things spiral out of control from there.


Commentary

It’s good. Just one actor, in a situation that is both common and supernatural. It’s not really quite clear what’s going on until the end, but there signs that point in a certain direction that do pay off at the end.
