I have no idea how to rate this film.

This 2020 short film was presented as an Alter Exclusive in 2020.

A teenage girl is walking home after a party one night, and encounters three different men who make her feel unsafe. The first we don't see, we just hear him whistling at her from his pickup truck. The second is a former friend who offers her a ride home, but who can't really be trusted. The third is a cop who also offers her a ride home, and also can't be trusted.

This is the kind of film I almost feel like calling drama instead of horror, but it really is horror, especially if you're a woman (or girl). I'm not, so I can't say I've experienced anything like this, but I know it's a very common experience for women, and I certainly empathize. All three situations in the film are definitely scary as hell.
