Monster

In 2014, the Babadook shook its audiences around the world. This psychological thriller was inspired by the short film “Monster”.

10 Four's-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dy9RiDK60A

Luna

Don’t want to give too much away on this one, but it does a great job of building suspense and dread.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cgx9bfQYPDw

A Function

Bleak and atmospheric, the clip shows the futility of escaping a hell on earth (from the perspective of the Asian schooling system and corporate world).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llQsmxQZsFI

INSiDE

An interesting depiction of Dissociative Identity Disorder.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjTOs1L3SBg

Webcam

A wildly successful and discussed short video. Webcam displays a woman being spied upon through her computer camera.

S/C/D Factor: 8/10

Endless

A slow motion vampire confrontation between a mother, father and child.

Blood Games-Click

Directed by the talented William Prince, click portrays a game among 5 children which slowly turns into something more sinister.

Still Life

Afraid of mannequins and their creepy, unflinching nature? Then this is the short for you! Make sure to watch the end for extra disturbing content.

Suckablood

A short film with a gothic/horror style.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw4gwwS-nFI

The Seperation

“The Separation” is an animation depicting the attempts of former conjoined twins trying to return to their original condition. All in all, the clip is pretty unnerving.

If you are going to say because the kid was annoying, please watch again remembering that THATS THE FREAKING IDEA. The movie is great.

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

While the kid WAS annoying, it wasn't because of that. Its just a movie trying to be smart and scary but it failed. FOR ME at least.

I'll be sure to watch these right after listening to all those creepy audio clips as of late... yeah, that's going to be right about never.
