The Most Unsettling Short Films Ever The: personally I think the best movies and shorts are the one's that go for realistic depictions of situations which doesn't necessarily have to be realistic themselves. When directors and writers try to make things abstract, I feel they weaken the effectiveness of their work. take There will be blood. It's ultra realistic and has nothing abstract or non-literal in it. There is no visual storytelling that relies on confusing interpretive non-sense and it makes the movie feel so much more vivid. I wish more horror movies followed that idea even though There will be blood technically isn't horror. The soundtrack is kind of horror based though which is strange and makes it almost disturbing in a way.

The only horror movies that have actually creeped me out were Babadook, Goodnight Mommy, The Witch, Sinister, Creep, and the First Paranormal Activity. Most of these films just let their antagonist/ghost to usually linger in the frame rather than play obnoxious music like Insidious always does. I feel like thats what all Horror movies in Hollywood are now, just jump scares, which yeah can catch me off guard, but after five seconds I feel nothing.

These shorts may be pretty good, but I've been witness to great shorts at horror conventions and festivals for YEARS, and not a single one of the ones I saw made this list - possibly because they're not recent. Do yourself a big favor and see if you can track any of these morsels of mad goodness down online:
DIVINATION
DOLL BOY
IN DARKNESS
THE ARMOIRE
MONSTERS
IS THAT YOU?
HOPE
SATANICA

What was the story from Symmetropia even about? Androids who all look the same kill people when they cant overcome they obscure phobia (that, in all honesty maybe 50 people suffer from?
That wasnt scary, or creepy at all! Why is this in this list?

Neither of these films even remotely creeped me out; there's more real life stories I can tell, even partially self experienced that's worse. Not trees or monsters appearing, but things I know was more than a coincidence. This is pre-school trash.

'Dont move' was really really good!
And 'The Smiling Man' has the creepiest, scariest, psycho guy in it! Probably the best monster-guy ive seen in a movie in a longggg time! The actor that portrayed 'The Smiling Man' was seriously AMAZING!

the mr hollow one is an interesting idea but a total cheat, the expression on the woman's face is totally different at the end vs the start and not from being recontextualized by new details, just straight up a totally different expression

I liked Don't Move the best. Next is Lights Out. Short horror movies just cut to the chase without any filler. I like that! There are some seriously talented artists out there creating these great scares. I hope they only keep coming.

I loved the Birch! My absolute favorite, the creature ughh gorgeous. Yeah it reminded me a lot of Del Toro's creatures, but I don't care, she was stunning! Actually, she also reminded me of The Queen in the Court of the Dead

Thanks for the great list, now I got some horror shorts to watch this evening, it is always hard to find some original horror shorts and without jumpscares, i think there are to much jumpscares in today horrors.
