    Best horror film all in one package

    From the start you have no idea what's going on but when it hits you it hits you hard. I don't want to spoil anything about this film. It's a film you need to see without knowing anything from the start. I haven't seen such an amazing actress in a very long time, and I haven't seen a film that takes place all in one package (literally) 8/10

    good short film

    A young woman in a box reminding a phone cabin. A carpenter . Oranges. The freedom and its consequences. A good short film. Precise in details, proposing a good story, having the right twist. A new pledge for the condition of woman. Nice, seductive, interesting. But, maybe, after its end you feel something missing.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The movie was written and shot about a mile down the road from Spahn Ranch, the western movie ranch where Charles Manson and many of his followers lived throughout much of 1969. It was here that Manson directed Linda Kasabian, Charles 'Tex' Watson, Susan Atkins, and Patricia Krenwinkel to "make it look witchy" the night they murdered Steve Parent, Jay Sebring, Voytek Frykowski, Abigail Folger and Sharon Tate. Due to the proximity to Spahn Ranch and the content of the screenplay, the filmmakers felt it was appropriate (though perhaps in poor taste) to variously reference the Manson crimes throughout the movie.
