Turkish helmer Can Evrenol feels very much like one of our own here at Twitch. We've been covering his work since back in 2009 when he first came to our attention with his sophomore short film The Chest, and we've kept a close eye on him ever since. Evrenol's work has a primal intensity to it, something deeply visceral and unsettling, and it's about to be exposed to the world at large with his debut feature film Baskin - an expansion of his recent short of the same name - about to premiere in the Midnight Madness section of the Toronto International Film Festival.What should be a routine night on patrol becomes a trip into the darkness of the mind and soul for a squad...

It was all the way back in 2009 that Twitch first wrote about Turkish filmmaker Can Evrenol. The occasion at the time was his short film The Chest, a micro budgeted affair with some technical limitations as a result which, nonetheless, showcased an enormous amount of raw talent. We've kept a close eye on Evrenol since and been rewarded by seeing that talent become progressively more refined without losing any of its edge while Evrenol ran The Chest and a string of successive short films through the international festival circuit. He's become recognized as one of the most promising young horror directors in the world and the question for a few years now has been when he would finally get around to making a feature.The...

Following up on my previous article, “Watch 15 Great Horror Short Films,” which received a very positive response, I’ve researched and collected 13 more superb horror short films. As with the first article, I limited the choices to stand-alone live-action horror short films not produced for an anthology film and the selections were narrowed down by availability.
In further keeping with the criteria of the first article, animated horror short films and horror-comedy short films were excluded from consideration as both of these categories would make good subjects for their own individual articles. Sorry, Brutal Relax and Fist of Jesus fans.
It should also be noted that a number of highly regarded horror shorts readers might clamor to see in an article like this such as Ryan Haysom’s Yellow continue their long festival runs and have not been posted for online viewing and were therefore not considered for this piece.

Over this past year one of my favorite little discoveries was Can Evrenol’s Sandik or The Chest. A raw, nasty little piece of work from the Turkish born, UK dwelling writer-director, Sandik is an exercise in pure revulsion; a film that exists only to make you squirm and proves that budget limits can be overcome easily enough if only you know what you’re doing with your edit and sound design. After finding it we quickly made sure to program it at both the Worldwide Short Film Festival here in Toronto and Montreal’s Fantasia Festival and on the list of ‘Bad Ideas In 2009’ the lady-friend showing this film to my mother as an example of what I do for a living must surely rank fairly high. But now you can show it to your mom, too! Evrenol has given us the go ahead to post the entire film here on Twitch.
