In the unsettling horror short How To Be A Lady, directed and written by Hattie Williams, a young woman finds herself trapped in a nightmarish finishing school where the lessons in etiquette are anything but polite. The film follows a quiet, anxious protagonist (played by Tilly Shaw) who enrolls in an exclusive academy promising to mold her into the perfect lady. Under the watchful, predatory eye of the headmistress (Emily Edgeworth) and alongside a group of increasingly desperate classmates (Olivia Crouch, Riley Wytchard, and Jake Harrison), the curriculum quickly spirals into grotesque rituals of compliance. Each lesson in posture, speech, and poise is a test of survival, where failure invites terrifying consequences. As the protagonist uncovers the school's dark history, she realizes that perfection comes at a horrifying price. With a claustrophobic atmosphere and a creeping sense of dread, this twelve-minute chiller from Hattie Williams subverts the coming-of-age story into a visceral exploration of societal pressure, using its brief runtime to deliver a potent and chilling commentary on the violence of conformity.
