GNARLED | Colonial America Folk Horror Short Film (2026)

Happy to share my colonial era folk horror short GNARLED.

Hark! The year is 1715. On the untamed frontier of the Thirteen British Colonies, an escaped convict ventures into a vast, unforgiving wilderness where something far older, darker, and more sinister than mankind lies waiting.

Blending period horror, ancient folklore, and the superstitions of a bygone age, GNARLED explores a world where nature is no passive backdrop, but a wild and merciless force that will not yield to those who trespass upon its domain.
