Hooked

Thomas a young fishermen goes to his old shed to grab some fishing gear. He finds out that something isn't right and he is not alone. He quickly realizes that he is the pray of another fishermen..

The film strongly leans into suspense and horror, using a minimalist setting and a slow build of tension. The claustrophobic environment, measured pacing, and use of darkness, shadows, and subtle horror elements create a psychological tension that gradually builds toward a dark climax. The visual style is dark and realistic, with a focus on atmospheric tension and an intimate, oppressive mood.

We made this film with 2 people and in one afternoon. It was a exciting challenge.
