Synopsis
We watch someone in a gas mask and contamination suit wandering through a cloudy wasteland as they find a lonely grave. They go inside a house and look around. There’s a mummified body, a note, and some pills. That evening, she takes off the suit and makes a fire. She has a one-sided conversation with the body, and she hears alien noises outside…
Commentary
Nothing here is explained, and yet you know exactly what happened. It’s an atmospheric, moody, desolate world, and her talk just worsens it. This could easily be a segment of a full-length film, but this is what we get. The creature at the end is fine, but the star of the film is really the hopeless dread of the whole thing.
Very nice!
