AM 1200

Saw AM 1200, a fairly short, taught horror. It's only 40 minutes long and filled with atmospheric pauses. The plot follows a man who is haunted by an AM station, AM 1200. It sounds silly, but it's set in dark desert highways at night, when radio is the only link to the outside world the protagonist has. The protagonist has just stolen some funds from the business he works/worked at. His bosses are likened to gods and his betrayal and flight linked to the fall of angels. So, it all makes a sort of half-sense, in the way scary movies do. The ending is neat and Twilight Zone like. It appropriately never exactly spells out what evil has taken over the radio-waves, leaving it to our imaginations and interpretations. I feel there are, however, strong hints.
