Because trouble comes in all sizes.
Scrag is the latest short horror entry from Hine’s Park Productions. Written and directed by Carlos J. Benitez, the film dives into the perilous uncertainty that arises when trust collides with vulnerability. What may seem perfectly mundane—a stranger offering help, a conversation in the dark—can often spiral into something far more sinister. Scrag explores this unnerving crossroads with tension and precision.
Idling is the title of a short horror film from Hine’s Park Productions. Written and directed by Carlos J. Benitez, the story hones in on the perceived kindness of strangers. What may seem perfectly mundane can often be downright dangerous. Idling explores this proverbial fork in the road.
What struck me after viewing the short horror film Unlit is how much it resembled our current dysfunctional existence in the USA. The circumstances are dire and the tension is exceptionally elevated. The tight script written by Carlos J. Benitez wastes little time grabbing your attention. True to the film’s title, the absence of light sets the tone.
