Mini Horror Short Film
A psychological horror mini short film centered on an aunt and her nephew, whose lifelong relationship is challenged when conversations about the family’s past begin uncovering memories that don’t quite add up. As hidden truths slowly emerge, the nephew is forced to question everything he thought he knew, blurring the line between memory, manipulation, and something far more disturbing. Rather than relying on traditional scares, the film creates tension through realism, natural performances, and prolonged moments of uncertainty. The unease builds gradually, with the horror living in what’s left unsaid as much as what’s revealed. Dialogue-driven. Mainly improvised.
