‘Thresher’ Is Clive Barker Meets Del Toro With ‘Silent Hill 4’

Published

Last October, Crimson Peak director Guillermo del Toro teamed up with Legendary Pictures to host the “House Of Horrors” competition, wherein YouTube content creators were given access to YouTube production studios across the globe to create short films. These production studios used actual sets from Crimson Peak, and creators were encouraged to shoot something built around the atmosphere that these visuals evoked.

This competition was also a chance for del Toro to meet with several of these creators across different regions. One of these creators would then be chosen to earn a development deal with Legendary, although there hasn’t been word on who that is yet.

One of the shorts that was submitted and has since gained a lot of attention was Mike Diva’s mind bender Thresher, which took equal parts of inspiration from Clive Barker, Guillermo del Toro (not just in the movie set but also in the content), and Silent Hill 4.

The short follows a man trapped inside of a room, the exit chained shut from the inside. He has clearly been there a while, based upon the pages and pages of combinations he attempted on each lock. While he’s trying to open the door, suddenly, a hidden passage opens behind him. Inside is something…evil.

Featuring not one but TWO twists at the end, this is a great way to spend just under eight minutes of your day. Enjoy!

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
