In this chillingly brief horror short, a seemingly ordinary object becomes a vessel for unspeakable dread. Directed and written by Greta Guthrie and Jake Lazarow, the film follows a young woman who discovers a strange, intricately carved wooden hand in an antique shop. Drawn by an inexplicable compulsion, she takes it home, unaware that the artifact harbors a malevolent consciousness. As she begins to experience unsettling phenomena—objects moving on their own, whispers in the dark, and a creeping sense of being watched—she realizes the hand is not a mere trinket but a conduit for a sinister force that feeds on her fear. With the help of a skeptical friend, portrayed by Shannon Collis, and a local historian played by Dana Mauro, she must uncover the artifact’s dark past before her own life is consumed by its grasp. The film’s tight seven-minute runtime delivers a tense, atmospheric experience, relying on subtle scares and mounting paranoia to create a sense of inescapable horror. Colleen Grate leads the cast with a compelling performance as the protagonist, while Tori Wong adds to the eerie ensemble.
