L.U.N.A.

By Xavier Charles with 6.8

horror · Short Films · english

A dark basement, an old, inherited house with a history of its own, and insidious secrets that threaten to be the undoing of the characters involved - all of these elements together constitute the world of L.U.N.A. The film opens with an overworked, disgruntled employee, Lillian, visiting a house to provide technical help with a gadget her company makes.

As Sarah and Jaime take her deeper into their lives, an undercurrent of mischief being afoot soon wriggles its way into what had so far seemed like a regular, mundane task. Things begin to spiral out of control until a moment, marked by its high intensity and even higher stakes, establishes and ensconces itself in the plot.

Within the brief duration of ten minutes, the film presents its sincere and dedicated endeavor to you. The imagery comes to be marked by symbols like a goat and a triangle, suggesting the presence of something satanic and sinister that lurks right below the surface. The employment of all of these tools is a notable hat-tipping to very specific aspects of the horror genre, tied together to ensure that the viewer is in for an entertaining, chilling ride.
