Storyline

On a common night like any other, a solitary woman enjoys a book in the silence of her warm and cosy living room. But all of a sudden, a muffled but nonetheless alarming sound coming from a plain wooden family chest on the other end of the room, ignites her curiosity as well as an intense, almost primitive fear. Eventually, as the cacophony of the impatient noise persists, one thing is quite obvious: whatever hides inside the chest's confined space, desperately wants out. Can the frail woman summon up all her remaining courage to confront it face-to-face?

User Reviews

the fear

...and its birth with real simple tools. that is all. a woman. an old chest. a sound. and the end. like others films by David Sandberg, the real admirable thing is the return at origins. to scary in the old style fashion, remembering German fairy tales, using the viewer as part of game, suggesting more than giving. proposing the atmosphere more than the story. and this is the motif for who, the chain of 3 minutes short films of David Sandberg are great refuges for classic horror fans.
