Synopsis

A woman sits in her car and notices a strange man sitting in another car who waves at her. Why is he in this lot? It’s a private lot! He says he’s waiting for his daughter, but she knows better. It’s a gymnastics school for teenage girls, but it’s a different group of students every day and she saw him there yesterday. The man acts creepy and then drives away. But we see that he doesn’t really leave. Credits roll.

One of the girls spots the man outside, but when she looks, she only sees his car. The police aren’t helpful, so she searches the building for him. She is very paranoid about it, but we soon find out that she isn’t wrong. What can she do about him?

Commentary

As one of the students says, “Dang!”

I noticed the music on this one during the credits; it’s very good. It’s well filmed and it takes a few minutes before you know where it’s headed. It’s good. It’s really good.
