If you don’t know what to watch quickly in the evening, then here is an excellent selection of horror short films.
Come home, sit down to have a snack, and then you need to do things or have another job waiting? There is no time or desire for a full-length film. You can watch a couple of scary movies over dinner that won’t take up much of your time and will add as much emotion as a regular movie.
"The Art of the Flesh"
This film is about a zombie taxidermist. There's not much more to say, but it's definitely more interesting than most zombie movies.
"The Spirit of the Porcelain Doll"
This is what happens if you don't buy your daughter a Barbie.
"Bloodsucker"
This is such a gothic fairy tale in the style of Edgar Allan Poe.
"Turn out the lights"
But this short film won the prize for best director at the British Bloody Cuts Horror Challenge festival. After watching the light in the apartment you won’t want to turn it off...
"Cover Me"
A film that shows that children can sometimes be very scary.
"Dad"
A short film about how great it is to be a father.
"Cargo"
A zombie film that won first place at Tropfest 2013. It's very, very moving.
Bonus: "Shooter"
Shooter ⁄ The Gunfighter from Artem Savitsky on Vimeo.
Not scary, but funny. It takes place in a cowboy saloon, where a very intrusive accompanying voice sounds.
