I'm absolutely dumb-founded as to why this has received such low votes. I saw this short on the sci-fi channels show exposure, and found it downright terrifying. Sure the story isn't entirely original, but that's because its an urban legend! The acting was fantastic, the cinematography was great - everything about this movie was just wonderful. You have to see it if you get the chance. I for one am hoping Mr. Koepp chooses to release it on a special edition of Stir Of Echoes.

"Suspicious" is a 14-minute short film from over 20 years ago. Writer and director is David Koepp. The cast includes 2 somewhat famous names: Emmy nominee Janeane Garofalo and Michael Rooker from "The Walking Dead". The movie was kinda okay in terms of thrill and drama, but it was never really scary and I personally never cared a lot for the characters in here. Luckily it wasn't longer, otherwise my rating would have been even lower. Koepp certainly enjoyed a big breakthrough soon after this film, especially as a writer, but his talent is not too visible here. And as the title says, there is something suspicious about the film's IMDb page too. The rating is incredibly low, way too low, even if I did not like the film. But all the reviews are overwhelmingly positive in a way that only actors or crew could see the film. Looks like something fishy in both directions. I personally don't think this was a failure as the rating suggests, but it also wasn't a good watch. Not recommended.

I saw this short film on SciFi's Exposure, and it really freaked me out, and I thought it was a great film, and brilliantly directed. David Koepp's been a favorite director and writer of mine ever since. The story really builds as you watch it and you definitely get a little perspective while watching it.
What a film!

I saw this short on Sci-Fi Channel's "Exposure" and it completely blew me away. The story is about a paranoid woman suspicious of anyone who looks at her as she is driving one night. The filming is done is such a way that you experience the people she encounters through her perspective. So as not to give anything away, I'll simply say that this short leaves you dumbfounded. This ten minute film is better than most full-length movies I've seen. I highly recommend watching this.

This is a Great little film that this writer caught on the SciFi channel's program known as Exposure.
It tells the story of a paranoid woman driving to some unknown destination at night.Everywhere she stops at she is frightened by the people that are around her.
When she stops at a gas station,the attendant is a very menacing man who tries every way that he can to get her out of her car. Janeane Garofalo and Michael Rooker give excellent performances in this film that has it's origins in a story that was told around campfires and at slumber parties for many decades.
When you get the chance,watch this film because it will entertain as well as frighten you.
Brad gives this short film a 9.
