This trio of short films - "The Snow Leopard," "Stomach It," and "Detox" - take the horror(-adjacent) genre in wildly different directions, each offering a fresh spin on familiar fears.
Fresh from screening the film at Beyond Fest, Russian writer/director Dima Barch is thrilled to finally share his short with a large audience via Screambox and Bloody Bites.
Called “…the future of queer story-telling” (Mary Beth McAndrews, Dread Central), THE POWER OF THE STRIKE is inspired by the anxiety of fleeing, alienation, and vulnerability of a queer person as the Other, as well as Barch’s favorite filmmakers.
Dima Barch's DEAD END, a chilling exploration of toxic masculinity and the lingering trauma of abuse, wins the Goule D'Or Best Short 2024 award at the Portland Film Festival.
In DEAD END, a young man flees the vengeful spirit of his abusive boyfriend. The Russian horror short will play the ninth annual Portland Horror Film Festival at the Hollywood Theatre, on June 5-9.
