This two-minute film titled 3:00 AM provided little context for the story and basically just showed the ending of the longer version of this film called The Woman in the Taxi. Based on an urban legend of the night cab, it tapped into the fear of things that go bump in the night, especially for a woman alone in the middle of nowhere at 3:00am at a bus stop.

I'm not a connoisseur of horror films so I’m not sure how this matches up against other short horror films. This film felt more like an exploitation film by excluding all of the story leading up to the incident which was the ending of the longer film. Better to just watch The Woman in the Taxi to see a lesson in human paralysis and denial in the face of danger. Or human stupidity.
