What Happens

The engineer aboard a spaceship wakes up from a nightmare. The AI says there was a collision alert while he was asleep, but it was a false alarm. He’s hallucinating terrible things, but is that just a side effect of being in hypersleep for so long? If the crew is asleep, and the engineer just woke up, why is there old food and wrappers all over the table? We soon find out. 

Commentary

The set design and spaceship effects are all really well done. The story itself is fairly simple, but there’s nothing here that we don’t understand by the end. It looks good, the makeup/body horror effects are well done, and it’s absolutely worth a watch.
