15 minutes. One burned house. Zero escape from what waits inside.
When a family man tears down the remains of his burned-out childhood home in an attempt to bury his tragic past, he finds himself tormented by a sinister discovery uncovered in the demolition.
Cinematography
Ash and shadow become characters—gorgeous suffocating greys.
Sound
The house breathes, creaks, remembers. Mix is nightmare-precision.
Acting
Sam Cotton's jaw-clenched breakdown in under 10 minutes.
Director
Katherine Chediak Putnam
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Putnam filmed in her actual ancestral home region in rural Canada; the ash you see is partially practical effects mixed with real demolition site residue.
The 15-minute runtime deliberately mirrors the average house fire's flashover point—by the time you realize you're trapped, it's already too late.
