DEAD END.

When a man is stranded on a dark country road in the middle of the night, he quickly realizes that he's being stalked by something that lurks in the shadows. With nowhere to turn and the creature gaining on him, the man must use all his strength and ingenuity to survive.

This short horror film features a fully CGI werewolf, brought to life by MadLabs VFX. From its realistic fur to its expressive eyes, we embraced the challenge of creating a creature that’s both terrifying and believable.

Produced in collaboration with Orillo Films, Dead End is a spine-chilling experience — intense, atmospheric, and guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.
