Mockingbird

What we have here is essentially a horror story told in just over one minute. In this micro-short, we follow a man working on something, with a baby monitor next to him. But things are about to take a dark turn.

Usually, horror shorts like this rely on jump scares-but this one takes the opposite approach. The first minute builds suspense, and what follows delivers the chills. In fact, much of the fear is left to the viewer's imagination, which is a refreshing change-especially if you're tired of jump scares.

This micro-short is proof that you don't need loud shocks to send chills down your spine.
