Short films built on a question

Mysterious is the pull of not yet knowing. These films withhold, drop a single strange detail, and let you lean in. Touch calls a psychic to a homicide scene, The Cook sets a young chef simmering something you cannot quite identify, and Tudescends hands a woman a choice that could make her rich, for a price she cannot see.

The unease keeps shifting shape. What's in the Forest blurs reality with psychedelics as unseen horrors close in, Queen of Prey sends a shy young man toward a mysterious older woman at a sex party, and True Value turns a student's part-time job unusually, fatally strange. Start one without reading ahead. The not-knowing is the point, and it costs nothing.
