Review of The Yellow Sign

The Yellow Sign was a short film that played like an episode of "Twilight Zone," or maybe "Tales From The Darkside." It is about a young woman who works at an art gallery and has dreams about an artist and his work. She seeks him out, hoping to get him to do a show at her gallery, but he behaves very strangely. He agrees to show his work at her gallery if she poses for a portrait, which she does over a period of time. With each visit, they talk more about her dreams, and how they are connected. Finally, the painting is finished and we find out that he is somehow exchanging her for the freedom of his own soul, or something. She escapes by tearing up a contract they had together, and he is pulled back into some dark dimension. It ends with her gaining success, but she appears to be evil now. It did a good job establishing an atmosphere, but I wasn't very interested in the characters or anything that happened to them. I didn't really understand everything that happened, or all the details of the backstory.
