Pessulus (Drama / Horror) | Guilt doesn’t stay buried

After the death of his brother, a man finds himself unable to escape the weight of unresolved guilt. As reality fractures, he is tormented by a presence that refuses to remain in the past — forcing him to confront what he’s tried hardest to forget. Pessulus is a psychological drama-horror that explores grief as punishment and guilt as a haunting force. Blurring the line between memory and manifestation, the film turns inner torment into something terrifyingly tangible, revealing how the dead can linger when reckoning is denied.

Grayson Director’s Statement: Horror is a genre that’s increasingly difficult to approach with originality. For me, storytelling has always been an obsession — something I’ve pursued since early childhood — and Pessulus is an attempt to bring a deeply personal story to life through the language of horror. By grounding the fear in guilt and emotional consequence, the film aims to reframe horror not as spectacle, but as something intimate and unavoidable. #FilmShortage #HorrorShortFilm #PsychologicalHorror FILM SHORTAGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA Instagram: https://instagram.com/filmshortage Twitter: https://twitter.com/filmshortage Facebook: https://facebook.com/filmshortage Website: https://filmshortage.com Film Shortage is home to the next generation of filmmakers, premiering some of the best and diverse short films online
