What Happens

A young woman gets a tattoo to honor her father, who has recently died in prison. She has the tattoo artist include some of his ashes in the ink for the tattoo. They watch news reports of a vicious serial killer who was recently executed, but there was no connection to her father… was there?

Commentary

This one is exceptional. It takes enough time to get to know the characters, and there’s some real drama there. When the horror elements start up, they’re well executed, look good, and have great effect. In the end, the whole thing makes sense, and I liked this one a lot.
