Pillage

A one-shot horror thriller about a kidnapped man who has ended up in a bad place in many ways.

A young woman’s fiercest self takes over to fight for her life when she’s attacked in this taut thriller from up-and-coming filmmaker Catherine Fordham. After waking up and noticing bruises on her body, the woman flashes back to last night’s perilous journey home. But as full memory of the attack she experienced comes back to her, we soon realize our heroine turned the tables in a surprisingly scary way. Fordham’s effective twist on the rape-revenge thriller marks her as a forward-thinking horror maker with a unique perspective in a historically misogynistic genre.

Host Scott Forrest presents a curated compilation of eight independent short films in this rapid-fire science-fiction feature. Genres collide, narratives twist, aesthetics clash, and even humor, both campy and dystopian, showcase the vast creative possibilities of each story's individual world, offering the viewer a brief glimpse into the lives of every character's attempt to survive the otherworldly chaos around them. Released in 2001, the selected shorts span original creation dates of 1997 to 2001; most of the featured filmmakers also appear as themselves in short video interviews to talk about their inspirations, creative process and motivations while working on their individual shorts.

Based on the short story 'The Reaper's Image' from bestselling author Stephen King comes a bone chilling tale about a museum curator, Johnson Spangler (Matt Mooningham), who seeks a prized antique mirror that is rumored to be cursed. Denying all the rumors and the mirror's dark past, Johnson must purchase the mirror from sleazy antique shop owner Samuel Claggert (Sonny Burnette). Upon purchase, Johnson must remove it from the shop's attic with guide Mr. Carlin (David Haney) who is scared to death of the glass. The two journey to find the prized possession, but it isn't the only thing they find. They say only chosen people can see The Reaper's Image in the glass... Will you see it?
