What Happens
A man takes a break from digging in the backyard. He comes inside for a drink of water and starts hearing an odd ticking sound. Or is it a knocking sound? Could it be a drip? What the hell is that sound!?! He starts searching for the source of the strange sound, and the situation devolves from there.
Commentary
When it ends, it’s clearly inspired by an Edgar Allan Poe story, but I didn’t really see that as it unfolded, which is good—I was expecting something cheesier, but the suspense pays off here.
There’s only one actor and almost no dialogue until the end, but it’s very effective!
