Laundry Day

By Mark Salmon with 6.4

horror · Short Films · english

When the film opens, it is on a fairly harmless note. The room is indeed marked by a massive pile of clothes meant for laundry, one that simply serves to make it seem like a scene of average domesticity. However, the viewer realises before the protagonist that something deeply disturbing is afoot in the house.

Shadows soon acquire a shape, form and mind of their own. Electricity seems to be controlled by a force darker than we understand. Consequently, the protagonist is soon left battling a supernatural presence and its many manifestations that he is only beginning to face.

The film is short and precise, and endeavours to make the viewer sit up and pay attention to the happenings of a house where everything seems amiss. The pivotal concern chosen to explore a horrifying set of events is quite mundane and ordinary in itself, dirty laundry, thereby catching the viewer by surprise when the narrative finally reveals its true motive.
