Strainséir

A horror short film that explores the themes of both trust and deceit, this was filmed in Curraghchase Forest park at night. It was filmed in 1:1 aspect ratio to enhance the claustrophobic feeling of being trapped in a car.

When Sarah’s car breaks down on the way to her estranged little brother’s birthday party, she finds herself stranded after her phone dies. With no choice but to hope someone will drive by and assist her, Sarah waits in the safety of her car under a streetlamp that provides her with just enough light to see out her windows. Her car is eventually approached on two separate occasions by two different strangers, the first seems kind and helpful whilst the second is more sinister, Sarah must decide what to do when being faced with a nightmare in the woods.
