DRINK - Short Film (2014)
"Director and co-writer Emily Moss Wilson successfully resurrects the essence of The Twilight Zone and Night Gallery in Drink." -- THE EXAMINER
DRINK is a sci-fi cautionary tale that follows Alice and her two sons, Clint and Billy, as they flee their home in the middle of the night. They arrive at an old desert motel, and it doesn't take long before Alice realizes she has a strange connection to this place. A tragedy of the past begins to reveal secret desires that could send Alice down a path of freedom or insanity.
"Part horror film, part family drama and part fairy tale in the darkest sense of the genre, Emily Moss Wilson’s short film, Drink, gives us a story that spins conventions and expectations on their heads to keep the audience intrigued and engaged. It’s a stellar piece of work, really, in practically every sense. The horrors that await our unsuspecting trio are of a very unique variety; rarely has wish fulfillment been so disturbing." -- FILM THREAT
