What He Saw
A child discovers an old VHS tape containing disturbing images of a mysterious ritual and an otherworldly presence. As the footage unfolds, the boundary between the screen and reality begins to disappear, revealing that something on the other side may be watching back.
I hope you enjoy the short film, What He Saw. It’s an experimental horror/suspense short with Lovecraftian influences, partially created using AI.
It was an opportunity to experiment with different ways of telling a story that perhaps wouldn’t have been possible to create otherwise.

It seems like something is summoned from the waters; a beast. This is a brain puzzle, requires multiple viewings, very epic. I wonder what the child is representing.....
