9:30 PM |
| The morning after a wild party, a young film student awakens in the arms of a mysterious actress. Unsure where they are, the two find a video camera at the foot of the bed aimed at them. Suspicious of one another, the lovers decide to watch the tape. Their apprehension turns to terror as they see themselves on screen gleefully committing a savage murder in the room they've just slept in. But there are no victims, no blood, no sign of struggle. The aspiring director doesn't have time to investigate. He is late for a very important class - he has to pitch his next film. Arriving late to class, he recounts the horrifying experience he just walked away from, convincing them it's fiction. By the time the class enthusiastically votes to produce his movie, it is too late for him to back out. More info |
