The Landlady

I do not know the story inspiring this short film. But I was just seduced by atmosphere - beautiful Gothic one - and by the fine performance of Frances Knows. A young man, in an isolated town, looking for hotel. A mistake, a too polite - nice lady and the thrill of the cold-dark truth behind her amability.

Fair construction of a story of mysteries and precise crafted end. You feel the tension from the first scenes but the end, almost brutal cut , like by a guilottine is just precious.

Like the game of seduction of lady , reminding a spider for capture her victim.

In short, not original but pretty fascinating.
