Watch: 'Night of the Living Dread' Fabric Stop-Motion Animated Short

"Why won't you all just let me sleep?!" Another terrific stop-motion animated short film to watch. Night of the Living Dread originally premiered in 2021 and played at the 2022 Santa Barbara FIlm Festival, before earning a Best British Short Animation nomination during the BAFTAs in 2022. Directed by filmmaker Ida Melum from Sweden, it's about a young woman who can't fall asleep in a silent room. When a power cut ruins Ruby's bedtime routine, she finds herself haunted by some unwanted guests. The only way for Ruby to get a peaceful night of sleep is to confront her visitors. Featuring the voices of Jessica Dennis, Stephen Fry, and Romy Hayhurst. Melum explains: "For a long time, I really tried to make it more of a heavy film, but then we kept coming back to a more lighthearted version." It's not a horror short, more of an awkward comedy with heartfelt moments. The animation is also lovely, using felt and fabrics. Take a break and enjoy. // Continue Reading ›
