Two assured shorts from German filmmaker Gregor Buchkremer.

Rent, No Utilities

German filmmaker Gregor Buchkremer proves himself one to watch with this stylish and assured thriller in the tradition of Shallow Grave and Pacific Heights. Three flatmates become increasingly suspicious when their fellow tenant locks himself away in his room and refuses to come out. Expertly utilizing the gloomy interiors of the apartment, Buchkremer creates a palpable sense of dread and claustrophobia throughout, before dishing out a delicious final twist.
