The Smiling Man

2015 · 4 min · Horror · Directed by A.J. Briones

A child wakes, finds a toy ball rolling toward her out of the dark, and follows it. What is waiting at the other end has a body that does not move the way bodies move. Built almost entirely from physical performance and one deeply wrong smile.
