The Visitor

Gail has reason to be unnerved. For the last two years, at the same exact time and on the same day, a ghost has appeared to her and announced that something is coming. Now, as the third year approaches, she is filled with apprehension and dread. Her significant other, however, isn't so much afraid as he'd like to show her that everything will be okay by inviting all their friends to come that night--after all, it IS her birthday as well.

This short film really surprised me, as I usually don't like ghost stories. However, director Stephen Hughes (who co-wrote this story with Jason Korsner) did a fantastic job building the level of suspense throughout--almost forcing me to keep watching. And, fortunately, unlike many tales of the supernatural, this one had an excellent payoff--one that really was chilling and wrapped up the story very well. See this film
