Celebrating the Low-Budget Independent Filmmaker
Weird Short Films is a platform dedicated to showcasing bold, original, and unapologetically strange short films from around the world.
From cult horror to psychological thrillers, dark comedy, arthouse, experimental, music videos, and everything in between.
We also host film challenges to spark creativity and to build your resume and IMDB. Creatives work best with a guide and a deadline.
If it’s short and it’s weird, it belongs here.
Weird Short Films isn’t just a festival.
It’s a digital space where people can watch arthouse films and submit their work. Independent filmmakers can premiere their work, get eyes on their films, and be part of a community that actually watches and supports each other.
The Luring showcases narcissism, manipulation, with a pinch of BDSM. So, weird AF with suspense and good kills written and directed by Christopher Wells.
Garrett tries to recover a lost memory that took place during his tenth birthday at the family's secluded vacation home in Vermont. Unbeknownst to him, a dark and unspeakable event occurred that left him in a non-responsive state, a condition diagnosed by a psychiatrist as dissociative amnesia—a memory loss triggered by a traumatic event.
Now in his early thirties, Garrett is desperate to uncover the truth hidden within his fractured mind, but he will soon realize that some memories hold secrets he wished had remained buried. As he embarks on this journey, his always overly optimistic girlfriend, Claire, is focused on making this a romantic getaway to strengthen their relationship.
However, their idyllic escape takes a nightmarish turn as Claire begins to hear strange noises and is haunted by terrifying visions that originate from her nightmares.
Simultaneously, Garrett becomes entangled with a mysterious woman named Jennifer, who appears in the dead of night, masked and enigmatic, leaving him captivated and bewildered
A strange tall man shares conspiracy theories with Garrett that could bring him great harm unless he takes drastic measures. A red balloon and a toy truck seem to appear before every murder, as if used as bait by a vindictive and hellish force.
In this surreal and mind-bending psychological thriller, the boundaries between nightmares and reality blur, and the web of lies and manipulation tightens, culminating in a catastrophic and deeply disturbing conclusion.
