Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Robert Morgan's stop-motion shorts have been banned from some festivals for being 'too disturbing'—this is him on a leash.

Cultural

Part of a wave of 2010s micro-horror that proved runtime is irrelevant to terror—see also David F. Sandberg's 'Lights Out' (also 3 minutes).
