In an old, tumbled-down apartment block, 'The Man', paralyzed with fear, watches a video-tape playing footage of himself, apparently trapped in an unremitting loop of deadly cat and mouse chases, hunted and pursued by clones of himself. Each version of 'The Man' evidently has the same vicious intent: to brutally dispatch the other clones. Only when the video-tape has played to the end will 'The Man' understand its terrifying purpose.—Anonymous

Synopsis

A man watches a tape of what seems to be a pre-recorded video himself, caught in an infinite loop of cat and mouse, struggling to distinguish reality from the nightmare he is trapped in.

While being pursued by multiple, murderous version's of himself, The Man tires to find the source of where a VHS tape is being played from.

With every step The Man takes he ends up confronting a copy of himself, all of which are autonomously trying to kill him.

Eventually The Man is fatally shot by one of the copies who assumes the same journey of The Man.

This New Man manages to find the source of the tape as if by instinct, some old tumble down flats,

He locates the room where the tape is being played from, before the man can see what is being played, the tape comes to an end and ejects.

The man watching the tape pulls it out of the machine and clutches it to his chest, he is beaten to death by the New Man, the New Man then plays the tape back through the machine and the loop continues.
