Malaysian director Woo Ming Jin offers up the second video “Double” of the Silent Terror series. Every video in the series has no dialogue, but that doesn’t mean it’s not scary. Unlike other horror films, this bizarre and disturbing short takes place in broad daylight. Here’s more about the short:
A young woman lives in a bright, white house. Like clockwork, she goes through her daily routine. The young woman seems to exist alone in this cavernous and antiseptic environment, until one day, she is visited by another woman. She looks strangely familiar.
If you’re confused after watching it, don’t worry – you’re not the only one. The director based the concept after watching “The Shining”. Originally, the concept for the short was a meta-existential horror film with a girl living in a strange house with her mother, whom she wanted to kill. The way we interpret the short is that the older version of the girl wanted to kill her younger self to rid the guilt of killing her mother. What do you thing is going on in the short?

More about Silent Terror
In celebration of Halloween and the month of October, the YOMYOMF Network will present a special anthology of horror short films directed by four of Asia’s top horror directors. The hand-picked directors will be crafting eerie tales influenced by urban legends, local ghost stories, and ancient traditions that make the Asian horror genre a prominent staple in modern cinema, yet translate universally through the horror genre. Entitled SILENT TERROR, this special series will have a common thread that creates an interesting obstacle for each director to tell their scary tale: no dialogue.
