I'm always looking for good scary stories to watch at night, and this one was perfect! It was short, creepy, and got straight to the point. I had goosebumps when the radio started talking. It's amazing that this was made with an AI video generator. It felt like a professional short film and really made me feel the fear of being in that room.
