    Storyline

    Edit
    The camera shows us a door handle and the door's striker plate; from this angle, they form a cross. The door opens and in steps someone in a dark trench coat. He approaches a bed in the room, where a shirtless man sleeps. The intruder takes out a knife. His movements are without haste, but deliberate and efficient. Will his sleeping victim awake in time to offer resistance? —<jhailey@hotmail.com>

    A respectable exercise in minimalism
    Well photographed. Nothing I like better than an old door. High contrast black and white. The parting shot reminiscent of David's "Au Marat.' Its all over in a moment.
