To Have and to Hold
A woman finds that death will not part her from her deceased lover.
Drama 2000 13 mins Not rated
Director: John Hardwick
Overview
This ghoulish short has a truly gripping premise. Distracted by her boyfriend while driving on a quiet country lane, a young woman regains consciousness in their wrecked car to find herself hand in hand with her lover. But his lifeless hand, frozen by rigor mortis refuses to let go. John Hardwick's film is also a surprisingly tender reflection on the familiar vow: 'til death us do part'.
