9. Leaning

This is perhaps the most weird and eerie one from the lot. This is because it has the elements of thriller and horror both.

Watch it for a complete cinematic experience.

 

 

10. Sleepy Eyes

13. Belongings

New house, a mother moving it with her daughter and a strange sketchbook are some elements that make up for a good horror flick. However, what’s so scary about this horror short film is there is nothing supernatural about it. Watch it to find out who kills the girl and then her mother.
