After surviving a car accident in which her vehicle plunges off a bridge, Mary Henry finds herself haunted by ghost-like visions. Herk Harvey's sole feature is an unusual but silly horror movie that has gained a cult following since the 1980s. This short but repetitive film is one of the grayest black-and-white pictures I can remember. Loosely inspired by the French short An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge (1961), itself adapted from the 1890 story by Ambrose Bierce.
