La Oscuridad/The Darkness
Written & Directed by Jorge Sistos Moreno
2019, Mexico
A young woman emerges from a lake, beaten and battered. After making her way to an elementary school, she meets up with the principal and dark secrets are revealed.
Watch this excellent short as a double-feature with Keegan Wilcox’s SHE.
The Stomach
Written & Directed by Ben Steiner
2014, UK
Offbeat auteur Steiner follows up the superlative vampire short The Flea with this memorable tale of a spiritual medium and his unusual abilities.
A mixture of horror movie and crime film elements, Steiner very accurately refers to The Stomach as “supernatural noir”.
This unique story idea deserves the feature film treatment.
One Last Dive
Written & Directed by Jason Eisener
2013, Canada
Best known as the maker of the feature film Hobo with a Shotgun based on his highly entertaining fake trailer of the same name, Eisener also directed the well-known horror-comedy short Treevenge and a kids-oriented horror-comedy short called Want to Believe.
The director also contributed the “Y is for Youngbuck” segment to The ABCs of Death (2012) and the “Slumber Party Alien Abduction” segment to V/H/S 2 (2013).
Brief and extremely creepy, One Last Dive is Eisener’s best work to date.
