Verena is a psychological horror short that follows a young woman walking home alone late at night. As she makes her way through quiet, dimly lit streets, she begins to feel like someone.. or something.. is following her. Once inside her home, strange occurrences unravel her sense of safety. What begins as paranoia spirals into a terrifying confrontation with a masked figure and a twist that forces Verena to face something far more disturbing than she ever imagined
