Let the scares kick in! This week's SHORT HORROR FILM showcased via our ever growing JOBLO HORROR VIDEOS channel is Gabriel Saint's haunting slice of dread HERE IN THE DARK, starring Maddisyn Carter, Nancy Linehan Charles and Derrick Denicola who also Produced the picture. So shut the lights, pump up the volume and tap the embed above! This spooky little flick is about:

Shelley and Jack's relationship is threatened when they move into a new apartment with a dark history which causes Shelley to begin sleepwalking.

Here’s what Producer Derrick Denicola and Director Gabriel Saint had to say about their macabre creation and beyond!

After completing our first feature (which will be available to stream soon) we were looking to shoot something that allowed us to try new techniques: Camera movements, wider frames, and some surreal and paranormal qualities. Once Maddisyn Carter was onboard we began to craft something unique for her tone as an actor. After some conversations and compromises between our team: Derrick Denicola, Richard E. Lambert, Lisa Goddard, James Brent Armstrong, and Gabriel Saint, we borrowed inspirations from some films like: Rosemary’s Baby, Suspira, and Hereditary. In the opening, you can hear the influence of Rosemary’s Baby on James Brent Armstrong’s score, where Maddisyn Carter sings a faint lullaby just like Mia Farrow. This short film gave us the experience to craft our second feature “Ghost Light,” which won Best Dramatic Film at IFS 2020. We are still in the festival circuit with Ghost Light and are lucky enough to be in pre-production for our third feature film.

The music in the short was courtesy of talented composer James Brent Armstrong. You can check out some stills and artwork below! If I go by the short, I have to say I'm pumped for a horror feature from this team! Talent to burn! Bring it boys!
