This is an exceptionally clever little short film from France. Now at first, I was very turned off by the violent aspects of the film, but I am exceptionally glad I stuck with it, as it has one of the more clever and satisfying endings I have seen in a short.
A young lady tries to get her boyfriend (or husband?) to stop playing on his computer and join her. However, he's totally addicted to gaming and has the insatiable urge to play more--even when she begs him. Oddly, when he chooses to play "Virtual Killer II", the character comes to life--chasing the lady through the house and trying to kill her. Again and again, she manages to escape--at which point her boyfriend (who is totally oblivious) comments about how great the A.I. is of the game--the enemies are REALLY smart and hard to beat! There is, of course, much more to it than that. Rest assured that this one is well worth a look due to a wonderful script and great social commentary.
