The Wooden Ghost

2023 · 11 min

A feverish, tactile nightmare of wood and feathers that unsettles through stop-motion craft and creeping dread.

Directed by
David Daenemark
Genres
Horror, Animation
Overview
An adaptation of one of the most famous horror poems of all time. How, in a fever dream, a carver finishes the portrait of a young woman. Then suddenly something flies into the workshop and strange things start happening. Stop-motion animation is combined with live action to create a terrifying experience from flesh, blood, wood and feathers.
How it feels
Eerie, dark, bleak and tense. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
