Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 1950s setting isn't nostalgia — it's a cage. The aesthetic weaponizes our collective warm fuzzies about 'traditional family values' before gutting them.
Short horror is having a renaissance, and 'Scraps' exemplifies why: constraints breed cruelty. Every frame is a choice, and Rivas chooses violence.
