Wow, this was good. The concept is simple but the execution was exceptional. So we have Amber and Jake driving to Florida but at some point they stop at a wooded area. It all seems to be fun and innocent but later when Amber decides to take her clothes off and go inside a nearby lake things take a dramatic turn. At some point a creepy man approaches Amber while she is still in the water, he starts talking to her and asking questions. Soon Amber realizes that this man has no good intentions. Amber is worried about Jake and the man says that Jake is dead. The man left and Amber thought that the whole thing was over but in the end we see Amber driving her car and calling Jake and we see the man's hand reaching Amber from behind and then it ends. So i imagine the man was actually able to hurt Amber too and not just Jake. The use of music was great, the performances very convincing, the atmosphere tense and the whole film makes you anxious about what will happen next. Very solid short film, my rating is 8/10.
