Wound tight and slow to release. Shorts that make you hold your breath.
No films match that genre yet.
Klipist is where short films find their audience. Hand-curated, independently run, watched in 190 countries. If you’ve made something great, we want to see it.
Suspenseful short films feel like a held breath. This is not horror's cold dread, it is the live wire of not knowing what happens next, the slow tightening as control slips and the room you thought was safe stops being safe. Every choice narrows the exits, and the short runtime keeps the screws turning without a wasted beat.
A woman is gaslit by her own AI wellbeing hub in Wired, and a student's part-time job turns unusually deadly in True Value. Tsunami makes a young girl the witness to an unfolding school shooting, Touch sends a psychic into a homicide scene, and Queen of Prey leads a shy young man toward a mysterious older woman at a sex party.
Each one chosen by our editors and free to stream worldwide. Press play, but maybe not alone.
