[Halloween Treat] Watch the Guillermo del Toro-Produced Short “Shhh”!
Freddy Chávez Olmos and Shervin Shoghian’s award-winning fantasy-horror short film “Shhh” has been released online, just in time for Halloween!
“‘Shhh’ is a tale about a young boy, who uses his imagination to overcome his monstrous bully at night. Tired of being scared, Guillermo eventually takes matters into his own hands.”
The short is inspired by the lucid dreams of director Guillermo del Toro during childhood.
After viewing the film, Director Guillermo del Toro described “Shhh” as having “strong visuals and solid atmosphere.”
“Shhh” screened globally in over 30 international film festivals so far, spanning across 6 countries, including France, United States, Japan, Mexico, Spain and Canada.
The short received recognition for the team’s hard work, including winning:
Best Short at the 2013 Leo Awards in Canada
Best Production Design at the 2013 Leo Awards in Canada
Best Fantasy/Sci-Fi Short at the 2012 Rhode Island International Film Festival in the U.S.
Best Short Film at the 2012 Festival Internacional de Cine Puebla in Mexico
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
