I am not a fan of ghost stories, so I cannot critique this short film within that genre. The entire plot seems to revolve around the amateur archaeologist finding the legendary crown, so it is odd that there is no explanation as to how he knew where to look. I guess we are to assume he has done his research. Much of the suspense is attempted through showing a far off figure watching our man, but think it lacked - well - suspense. Perhaps if there was a shadowy (might we even say ghostlike?) figure instead, a not quite visible wraith protector, more tension would have been created. But the show was certainly watchable.
