This 2017 short film was presented by Crypt TV in 2018.

I guess this is set sometime in the 1800s. A young orphan girl gets hired to bring a plate of food up to a room at the top of some stairs, leave the plate on the table, and leave the room without ever going farther into the room than the table, and without making a sound. The "food" on the plate is always some sort of meat that doesn't look appetizing, for human consumption. And there's someone chained to the bed just beyond the table. Someone beast-like. It's all very atmospheric and spooky and ominous. But there aren't really any surprises, and I felt like in the end, we're left with more questions than answers. Which is fine, if that's your thing. Personally, I kinda like answers. But whatevs. I'm definitely glad to have seen it.
