After leaving a party late night, Joe Spelliner (Nick Mancuso) drives in high speed through the empty streets and has a car accident. A couple of seconds later, he is surrounded by a crowd until an ambulance arrives with the paramedic at 2:00 AM. Twenty-four hours later he is discharged by the hospital and he is intrigued from where that crowd arrived. He meets his friend and colleague Morgan (R.H. Thompson) to celebrate and they witness another car accident. In twenty-one seconds, the victim is surrounded by a crowd and Joe recognizes many of the persons from his own accident. Joe asks Morgan to retrieve surveillance tapes of car accidents and he discloses that the same persons are present in the other accidents; further, all of them are victims of car accidents. Morgan asks Joe to forget the discovery, but the reluctant friend wishes to investigate further with tragic consequences.
"The Crowd" is an intriguing tale of obsession, with the lead character discovering a world of dead simultaneously existing with the world of living. The environment is creepy, using cold locations associated to an eerie cinematography. The result is an original and very well developed story along the short running time of the show. The unexpected tragic conclusion is unforgettable. My vote is seven.
