Based on THE BOARDED WINDOW, a classic horror story by Ambrose Bierce. An elderly hunter is being buried near his cabin in the woods. Old and rustic, the cabin has one window – boarded over for many years. Few people know the story behind that window, but the narrator is one. Many years before the hunter and his much loved young wife struggled together to make a living from his traps in the forest. Returning home one day from tracking a particularly elusive wildcat, the hunter finds his wife with a high fever, and she soon dies. Broken with grief, he lovingly prepares her body for burial. Then, during the night…but to reveal the ending would be to rob the viewer of a spine-tingling experience. American Film Festival Jury: “Effective interpretation of the Bierce story…good suspense ending…very refreshing…good for discussion.”
