About This Movie

Apollyon (2018) is a short horror film that dives into the raw, unsettling aftermath of an apocalypse through the eyes of a lone woman. The tone is dark and oppressive, really capturing that visceral fear of isolation and survival. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to soak in the haunting atmosphere, which is amplified by its practical effects—there's something about the tangible nature of the scares that sticks with you. The performance of the lead, though minimal in dialogue, conveys a depth of emotion and desperation that draws you in. What stands out is how it captures the fragility of hope amidst chaos, making it resonate on a deeper level than your average short horror flick.
