This horror/suspense gem made one of the greatest impressions on my psyche...
Its too bad we are not more familiar with short films; there are some beauties. I remember seeing this short Canadian film (which at the time I thought was made for TV) on CBC television when I was 15. Highly inviting with a powerful premise. This has got to be one of the best segments of horror and/or suspense I have EVER seen - standing in line with my favorites like: The Changeling, another Canadian great film. I find so many disappointments in this genre where some how blood and guts have been dominant. When a film focuses on your own mind's eye so to speak and plays upon your fears psychologically - it is so much more powerful. This film has had one such impression upon me. Without giving anything away, essentially the story is one of two grave robbers to whom we are introduced via their arguing and bickering. It seems one no longer wants to do this type of work any longer as it is wearing on his nerves. The other tries to convince him to pull one last job. Whether greed or desperation motivates them is not as important as the consequences of their actions. A series of things happen bring to light "what goes around comes around" in a horrible karmic climax that appeals greatly to the child in you (if you were ever unnerved by cemeteries). Few films have ever genuinely frightened me, and although I was only fifteen and I haven't been able to track it down since - I have never forgotten it's title...and I likely never will. Fantastic.
