Enter the Dark
18 minutes Horror / Thrillers
Enter The Dark is a short film that takes you into the dark recesses of a haunted house and the even darker fathoms of the human soul.
Intended Audience: Teen
With the lights out, two friends are led on an adventure of paranormal encounters: cold spots, an eerie talking children's book, unexplained apparitions and a final mystery that leads to an unforgettably disturbing ending.
I wanted to take the traditional ghost story setup and play with it a bit - prey on the viewers' knowledge and expectations, and create a twist at the end that would ultimately be much more horrifying. I also wanted to interject a bit of humor and vérité throughout.
