A Stranger from the Past

Unsuspecting, a car mechanic opens up a hood, but what he finds under there scares the life out of him.

Hairs stand on end when watching this dialogueless horror film, which is at the same time a metaphor for the dark sides of fossil fuel. Director Verdijk’s previous projectWild clinched the prestigious Méliès d’Or for Best European Fantastic Short Film. He got the idea for this new horror story after he made a test drive in a Tesla and realised it reduced his own diesel clunker to a prehistoric monster.
