10 Horror Short Films Hollywood Should Adapt To Full Length

Though devoid of a particularly compelling title, the Horror short film by Riff and Alternate Studio, featured on CGMeetup, is a masterclass in animated horror, using the CGI 3D animated medium to craft a horrifying and violent, yet mysterious and intriguing story that deserves more than only a few minutes.

The short film itself goes from a creepy storybook opening with limited 2D animation, to a big-eyed CG 3D girl worthy of Disney's current animated film work, then to a first-person camera perspective of the young girl as she looks for her mother, who's gone downstairs to confront her late-arriving father.

What starts out as the very realistic horror of domestic violence turns into an all-out monster mash with creatures reminiscent of the Mama ghost from the Muschietti siblings's short film and enormous hulking, tumour-covered behemoths only seen in horror and zombie video games like Left4Dead, appearing in the frightened girl's field of vision. The film still operating in first person, the audience gets to experience the horror right there with the child, the intense and terrifying chase ending with a fantastically ominous climax that begs for more screentime.
