Request Script
Feature Length Psychological Horror

The Hungry Ones contains three shorts, one house, and three different decades. Based on the terror puppet play triptych, each short features a different girl at a different age, all set against a hidden force in a gorgeous landscape and linked by this house of secrets.

These blips of psychological horror are set in upstate New York, each on a different level of this three-story farmhouse—a house that demands sacrifice, possession and entrapment. These girls have to grow up fast.

Short Adventure Mashup. 2W.

creature to protect the world from what damaged her, only to find in revelation that she is the monster. Based on Kraay's poem by the same title and inspired in part by Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, this film functions as a music video, which works as an expressive display of the more poem's story.
