Betsy, a small-town waitress, offers a war meal to an drifter in the rundown diner where she works. She’s unwittingly let a vicious and calculating werewolf loose on the diner’s colorful customers and staff. Unmanned Media presents the short horror film End of the Road, written and directed by J. Spencer and starring Tatum Langton, Dmitrious Bistrevsky, Charles David Brettner, Travis Coles, Lisa Kay Jennings, Elester Lathum, Sheena Sachdev, Sharron Shayne, and Daniel Van Thomas as the drifter. End of the Road is a great short film. I loved the play on the story of Red Riding Hood, complete with Langton’s red hood. Both she and Thomas did a fantastic job in their roles and you can really sense his panic as he realizes he’s about to turn. The mix of shots from normal to POV was a great idea on the part of Spencer. I truly enjoyed the film and I think you will too. Visit the Unmanned Media
