A one-location absurdist-horror short with some fast fashion satire baked-in about how deep the rabbit hole goes when you buy things on a whim, and the strange things that could happen.
Subtitles are a Work in Progress.
-----------------------------------------
Our debut short film. Please be Kind, as everyone has to start somewhere.
“The Last Sock You’ll Ever Need” originally started life as a different beast (it was a one-shot idea set in a laundrette), but like most things in the current cost-of-living crisis, we had to pivot. Now, a short that started as a joke has evolved into a satire about fast fashion, possession, and the quietly creeping dread of modern life - with some slime mould and bindweed to really sell the weird.
Stylistically, it leans heavily into the wave of Japanese horror from the late 1990s and early 2000s - the kind of films where infection, rot, and mood do the heavy lifting. It’s equally soaked in Northern British sarcasm as well, because that’s where we’re from and that’s how we process everything - even possession.
Why this story? Why now? Because we wanted to do something weird, sharp, and fun that wasn't tied down by old habits and stereotypes. Even if it is grim up North, we've got more than just social drama and realism under our belts.
If nothing else, we made a suspenseful "horror" short that somehow works, and we hope that you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed getting lost in its strange little world.
