In the chilling horror short Black Annis, director Ethan Whyborn conjures a modern nightmare rooted in ancient folklore. The film follows a group of young friends, portrayed by Amberley Dawn, Isabelle Ember, and Lauren Grendon, who find themselves stranded in a remote, foreboding woodland. Their carefree outing turns to terror when they stumble upon the legend of Black Annis, a malevolent, blue-skinned witch from English myth who is said to stalk the shadows of the forest. As dusk falls, the line between campfire story and reality blurs, and the group realizes they are being hunted by a predator far older and more savage than any wild animal. The film masterfully builds a suffocating atmosphere of dread, using the stark isolation of the woods and the characters' growing paranoia to fuel its suspense. With a runtime of just ten minutes, this taut, visceral experience wastes no time plunging viewers into a primal fear. Anchored by a tense performance from Stephen Vatikiotis as one of the group, the movie is a relentless, atmospheric descent into a predator’s lair, promising a haunting glimpse into a darkness that has been watching all along.
