What Happens
Tallulah’s stuck in the nursing home at Christmas time. She looks longingly at all the visitors that other people are getting. A stranger waves at her, and Tallulah ignores her; she’s a little bitter. The nurse comes in and reminds her that the sun lamp will help with her memory. He’s nice, and then he leaves.
Late that night, Tallulah hears something from her neighbor and goes to investigate. She sees that smiling stranger from earlier biting her old neighbor’s neck. Could she be a vampire? Whether she is or not, will anyone believe an old woman with dementia? Would it be a bad thing to have just one visitor?
Commentary
The vampire here is surprisingly convincing… and tempting. She makes a lot of logical sense. This old lady’s not so far gone that she can’t put up a fight, and that’s exactly what happens. I had a very good idea how it would end, as they projected that too early on with the nurse.
I was immediately reminded of “The Rule of Jenny Pen” (2025). Old people in nursing homes are generally not taken very seriously when they complain.
It’s well shot, nicely paced, and I thought it was really good.
