A kaleidoscopic vision portraying mankind’s first meeting with alien life, told through faux archival footage combined with practical FX, miniatures and old school in-camera trickery.
Another Horror Short Sunday again, and today we travel yet again into some cosmic horror territory with From.Beyond by Fredrik S. Hana, the same director behind Autumn Harvest and Sister Hell. This one is much more experimental, and the director himself stated that “I wanted to make something that captured a particular sense of wonder I experienced a lot as a child. A time where the Patterson–Gimlin footage of Bigfoot caused many sleepless nights, and just the thought of space and U.F.O’s filled me with a strange feeling of limitless possibilities. This feeling is rooted in a fascination for the unknown, sprinkled with existential dread and ambiguity, and has been a big source of inspiration to me. I try to stay connected with these emotions in my work, but I never had the chance to truly explore them until now“. And the result is a bizarre and nightmarish analog horror short!
