A woman is dragged back and forth between two rooms. The occupants of the rooms are two men placing a wager on which room the woman will die in.
Now looking at the cover for The Bet you'd think that it's something that it's totally not. I have to say I was quite intrigued by this short film that's a little shy of 20 minutes. It starts out with a bound woman drug into a hall as a door closes behind her. Suddenly the door of the opposing room opens up and a man pulls the bound woman into his room. It's kinda hard to say what happens in the room being that it's such a short film and I don't want to give anything away but needless to say I feelt this movie had a definate eerie vibe.
 
Now I'm not one for short films but this one got me pretty well. I found it twisted and at the same time simple and effective. It kinda digs in a little into the psyche of the two men placing the bet and the woman that's drug between two rooms awaiting her fate.
Reading further about this short it's said that it's based on a dream his wife had back in the 80's. Pretty cool huh?
Anyways give it a watch, it's a trip.
Would be pointless to make it longer than 20 minutes seeing as it's just basically one scene but it got it's point across. I liked it.
