Our final block of short films is a two-for-one! Shorts block 6 features some of our most striking and lush films that will drag you screaming towards the outer darkness on the back of an interstellar Byakhee! But, not to worry, before you've made it past the point of return, we'll drag you back, laughing and screaming to the safety of your couch, with some of the strangest, goofiest, and funniest takes on Lovecraftian horror! You're not going to want to miss this... there are puppets. And then, it'll be time for us to say goodbye, and slink back into the black depths of N'kai to slumber for another year.

Turin, 1909. Cesare Lombroso, the world-famous founder of the School of Criminal Anthropology, arrives at the isolated mansion of Lazar, an elderly illusionist. Lombroso, attracted to Spiritualism, challenges Lazar: to prove that the supernatural exists and that it may be the cause of a heinous crime. What could have unleashed the murderous fury in the young seminarian Tommaso and what binds him to the paranormal faculties of Lazar and his son Lorenzo? Is it illusionism or is there something real? The ancient and decadent house of Lazar hides many truths and Lombroso's scientific vision will have to open up to new perspectives.
