Here is a 98-minute collection of dark horror, sci-fi, mystery, and thrillers from around the world.
COMING TO LIGHT: Aaron was a victim of sexual abuse as a child and has lived for more than half his life with the burden of this dark secret. As a result of this, he has had to adjust to a life where the physical demon of his trauma is with him everywhere he goes. When a police investigation is launched into his abuser, he becomes conflicted between being imprisoned by this monster or coming forward about what happened to him and subsequently confronting his demon head on.
FACES: A love story in the times of programmed obsolescence.
SWEET NOTHINGS: A young man of the near future wistfully searches for love on a dating app, only to find that it has been corrupted by a seductive new marketing system.
GUARDIAN: Two employees get into a hilariously-heated argument when one of them begins questioning his sexual identity. Who's gonna explain this to "The Boss"?
ONE IN TWO PEOPLE: Emily is surrounded by her friends as she reveals her dark secret.
YOU DON'T KNOW ME: While on a road trip, a bickering American couple gets involved in a sordid affair after stopping for gas in the middle of rural Quebec.
MEAT LOVERS: To satisfy her appetite, a young woman must juggle dealing with her salacious lover and a mysterious pizza order.
SEE THE ANIMAL: Jack is an audience "plant" in a magic show run by his long-time friends, Declan and Seamus. Jack wants a fresh start away from their reckless behavior and Declan’s constant onstage abuse. Held back by loyalty and calculated persuasion from Seamus, Jack stays, but as the tension between the men grows, Declan’s demeanor worsens. He spikes Jack with a hallucinogenic before a performance in yet another attempt to humiliate him, which poses a risk during one of their riskier sword tricks.
PERFECT:
A troubled young woman is consumed with the yearning to find the perfect man in a crowded NYC dating scene, even if it means building one herself, piece by piece.
THORNS: Stopping at a sketchy motel for some private intimacy, Gwen and Jade get the sense that someone’s watching them.
WHITE VAN: A woman being held captive in a white van, escapes her captor, only to find herself back where she started.
