Instinct

About This Movie

Instinct (2017) is this raw post-apocalyptic short that dives deep into the human psyche. The atmosphere is bleak, perfectly capturing a world stripped of hope. You follow Carl, a survivor who's seen too much, and then there's this stranger who throws everything off balance. The tension builds nicely as their bond forms, but then it spirals into darker territory. The practical effects are pretty impressive for a short, adding a tangible feel to the horror. The pacing is tight, never dragging, and the performances really sell the emotional weight of the story. It’s not your typical survivor tale, and that’s what stands out about it.

Instinct has had a limited physical release, making it somewhat of a rarity in collector circles. Many enthusiasts appreciate its distinct narrative style and the way it crafts a haunting atmosphere. While not widely known, its thematic depth and strong character development attract interest, especially among those who favor indie films with a darker edge.
