This clip from Ryan Gregory Phillips’ Shortwave utilizes extreme sound design to deliver scares in the dark.
The film will be continuing its festival run this weekend with its UK premiere at the Raindance Film Festival in London, as well as the NOLA Horror Film Fest in New Orleans. It has already screened as an official selection at over a dozen festivals with more coming up, including next month where it is an official selection at the Sitges Film Festival.
Luiz reviewed the film and stated that “Shortwave shines with more emotion than horror.”
In the film, “Josh and Isabel Harris, after suffering the loss of their only child, relocate to a secluded hillside research facility with the hopes of repairing their broken family. After years of trying, Josh and his research partner, Thomas, have a breakthrough involving a cryptic shortwave radio signal and its universal origins. Something within the signal resonates with Isabel and she begins experiencing seeming hallucinations and visions of distant memories. Upon further investigation into the phenomenon, the scientists fear for Isabel’s health while Isabel fears the signal has attracted something sinister to their new home.”
Juanita Ringeling, Cristobal Tapia Montt, Kyle Davis, featuring Jay Ellis, Nina Senicar, and Sara Malakul Lane star.
