RANGDA

Back in the country town where they grew up, three twenty-something friends reconnect with a sleepover full of laughter, dares, and secrets. Finding a spooky mask in a deserted family home turns their grown-up nostalgia into reckless play — and something old and hungry answers. As their pranks grow darker, the line between joke and nightmare blurs. Will their friendship survive the curse Rangda brings, or will the witch claim them one by one?

Monsters of Film 2015 - Stockholm, Sweden. Comments of the Jury: "Of all the brilliant and inventive short films we saw, there was one in particular that really pushed that horror-button. With its use of classic low key horror aesthetics juxtaposed with strong sociopolitical and sexual undercurrent, and its audacious exploitation of the fear of "the other", Rangda is our winner. Not only because of these reasons; it also managed to reduce the soul of three hardened veterans of horror into jell-o. A feat."
