Pickman's Model(2008)
When two estranged friends, Thurber (Murphy, BANSHEE!!!) and Eliot (Meinecke), meet for drinks, Eliot finds that Thurber is not the person he once knew.

It begins with a simple invitation to view Pickman's work at his isolated studio in Boston's North End. And ends with the apprehension that what lurks in the foreground of Pickman's work is far more sinister than the art itself. Adapted from the original short story "Pickman's Model" by: H.P.
