This was a breathtaking short-horrormusical with Michael Jackson, finally a bit cool.
Some people think that it is a spin off to THRILLER, but I can't see any similarity at all. Let's all remember that Michael Jackson was an adult as a child, and he has got to have room for his childhood somewhere too.
I love Michael Jackson's short films, and this is no exception.
