SHORT FILM SESSION
SH!T SCARED assembles the year’s most bonechilling, atmospheric shorts. Hauntings, demonic possession, and a host of psychotic killers populate these eerie shorts, best watched in pitch black for full blood curdling effect.

FERINE
Dir. Andrea Corsini | 17 mins | Italy | Horror | AUS Premiere | 2019 A woman wanders in the big and empty parking lots following a man who she seems to want to ambush.
