Dark Stories Collection

Across a series of chilling, stand-alone short films, the Dark Stories trilogy plunges into the bleak underbelly of life, proving that the most terrifying evils are often human. From the quiet, obsessive paranoia of suburban homes to the dark secrets buried in the country’s remote corners, each tale explores themes of entrapment, moral decay, and retribution. This anthology is a descent into a world where ghosts, monsters, and demons lurk not in the fog, but in the heart of humanity itself. The grave is not the end, but merely the next stop in a relentless cycle of horror... and the reckoning is always waiting.
