A man tells the tale of another man telling his tale of the rainy night he picked up a mother and daughter in need of a lift, who turned out not to be what they seemed.
Simple ghost short that hardly tickles the palate, coming across as the prelude to something meatier. The merit is in the lighting and framing of the shots, and the good performances, especially of the mother.
The framing device within a framing device - well, neither has much of a point - except the jokey nod and a wink presence of Wells. One visual joke with a giant shadow in the playhouse. And so much smoking you wonder how the actors didn't cough their way through the screenplay.
