This short film, written and directed by Andy Kumpon, is one of the best shorts I've seen in a loooooong while! It concerns a tabloid reporter (portrayed by Kumpon) who runs out of gas in the boondocks and luckily comes across a gas station. BUT this particular gas station is run by monsters--and he watches incredulously as they fill his tank and wipe his windshield. Amazed--and seeing dollar signs flash before his eyes--he takes off and calls up his photographer friend (Wayne Spitzer), so they can do a story on it for their paper. What happens is rather unexpected. The black and white photography and stark lighting, not to mention the fog machine, effectively add to the creepy mood and it reminded me of NIGHT FLIER, perhaps because of the tabloid reporter angle. Kumpon is also very convincing in the part of the tabloid reporter. Very well done.
