New Streaming: Creepshow- Lydia Lane's Better Half

Another week and another freaky entry from the recent Show known as...
In this Segment, someone makes a rash decision and has to cover it up.  That always ends well in these...
A businesswoman named Lydia decides to promote one of her Employees over the other, which creates a bit of a conflict.

She was sleeping with the one she *didn't* promote, so that makes snese.
Things escalate during their private conversation and the Employee meets a somewhat-ironic end.
Now Lydia needs to hide and/or dispose of the body.  I'm sure that will be easy.

To find out what obvious wrinkles happen, watch the Episode.
A fun, but dark Segment.  Aren't they all though?  There's some amusing bits here- darkly so, of course- involving the 'high jinks' of trying to hide the body.  Oops, not there.  Try again!  The meat of the Episode takes place in an Elevator as she tries to hide it on another floor.  Some *spooky* stuff starts happening in classic Creepshow fashion.  I don't want to give too much away.  What they do well is make use of a single location for the bulk of the Segment.  It is easy to make it boring, but they do a good job avoiding that.  The Acting, Editing, Cinematography and Music all accent things.  It all builds up to a fairly-obvious conclusion, but it is still satisfying.  Not every one of these has to completely-surprise you.  Looking up the Director, she did the weird segment in XX (see below) involving a Mom trying to hide a dead body before her kid's Birthday Party.  I wonder what she'll do for an encore...
Next time, it is not a Horror Anthology without a Monkey's Paw.  What twists and turns will they give it?  See you then...
