A girl at the office makes some coffee in the break room, and it’s good. Suddenly, the lights go out. She sees a weird shadow on the wall. It’s a large eagle-beaked man with a huge syringe… full of coffee. Arms come from nowhere and hold her still while the creature jabs the needle into her eye.

Commentary

This was well shot and well acted. You couldn’t really see the creature, which was probably for the best, and of course, the needle-in-the-eye was completely cringeworthy. Go see this one, it’s great!
