Currently teaching the concept of pareidolia - the perception of meaningful objects, i.e. faces, where there are none - to her students, Sinead (Diane Franklin) also does an experiment on herself just trying to see "faces" - and it works only too well, as she sees faces everywhere that are seemingly closing in on her. That gets so worrying that she confides in a friend (Carolyn Pickles), who comes up with a few ideas how to make this stop. But what if these faces were not just the result of an overboarding imaination ...

Father John (Graham Cole) is summoned to a hospital to inspect a corpse that looks particularly grotesque - only to figure there's something sinister going on, and he might already be too late ...

Horror faves Dawn Perllman and Sandy Johnson play a surgeon and a radio DJ respectively.

A powerful short, one that successfully mixes psychological mystery and supernatural horror, thanks to its non-linear narrative structure as well as its genre savvy directorial effort, and its great blend of impressive imagery - that true to the film's theme often hints more at things than actually showing them - and a very unnerving soundscapes. And of course, a top level cast also helps making this a pretty memorable piece of horror.
