In the chilling short film Hell is Empty, a group of friends seeking a remote weekend retreat find their getaway descending into a waking nightmare. Led by Ava Kosurek and Matthew Clinton, the unsuspecting vacationers, including Charlotte Beckett and Joseph Gagnon, arrive at a secluded cabin, unaware of the sinister history that permeates the surrounding woods. As strange occurrences escalate from unsettling whispers to physical manifestations of dread, the bonds of friendship are tested by paranoia and an encroaching supernatural force. Directed and written by Kaelan Roddy, this tense horror experience masterfully builds an atmosphere of claustrophobic terror, trapping its characters—and the audience—in a fight for sanity against an ancient evil that thrives on fear. The ensemble cast, featuring Mateo Cuellar Osorio, Kieran Pritchard, and Mali-Soleil Robar, must confront not only the shadows outside their door but the darkness within themselves as they realize some hells are not places you visit, but entities that visit you.
