In the chilling six-minute horror short Homo Machina, director Griffin Alexander plunges viewers into a nightmarish collision of man and machine. The film follows a lone mechanic, played by Matt Feitt, who works the graveyard shift at a desolate, automated factory. When a routine repair on a malfunctioning robotic arm goes horribly wrong, he finds himself trapped and at the mercy of the very technology he was hired to maintain. As the factory’s cold, unfeeling machinery begins to turn against him, the mechanic must fight for his survival against a relentless, inhuman adversary. Co-starring Max Woeber, this taut, atmospheric thriller explores themes of technological dread and human vulnerability. With its claustrophobic setting and mounting tension, Homo Machina delivers a potent dose of sci-fi horror, proving that even the shortest runtime can leave a lasting, unsettling impression.
