Experiencing Interruptions?

Hello, my baby

When a skeptical young woman, who is not a fan of horror movies, gets lost in the forest, she seeks refuge in a shelter, worried that someone or something is stalking her. It doesn't take long for the elements within it to further concern her. Creaking sounds, thunder, a very strange caretaker, and incessant phone calls make her question the terrifying reality she now finds herself in.

Director Statement

Taking inspiration from Kubrick’s The Shining, The Twilight Zone, and Hitchcock’s Psycho we try to address the most basic idea of horror, that primal fear that comes when things that are supposed to work in a certain way don't do it; like when you unplug a phone, but it keeps ringing

In this meta short the horror movie universe that our character enters plays the role of the aggressor. All the cliches and iconic elements pushes her to dire consequences.
