Horror

Inhabitant

"When a woman steps through a mystical door at 11:11, Jamie must confront the haunting price of self abandonment as a seductive red entity offers to inhabit her soul in exchange for her ex-lover."

When fame-hungry Jamie slips through a glowing door at 11:11, she bargained for irresistible beauty—and instead awakens an elegant, crimson Inhabitant who teaches her that desire is born from regret. Trapped in a shifting, liminal room of memories and temptations (and a disturbingly tempting cinnamon roll), Jamie must face a chorus of her own last words and the truth that the cost of becoming adored may be losing herself. Part psychological horror, part dark fable, Inhabitant is a seductive, unnerving exploration of vanity, bargaining, and how the hunger for love can hollow you out.

Matt Moeller has aspired to be a writer, director, and funnyman since living in Orlando, Florida in 2004 which is basically the cretaceous period at this point. He’s written a book about improv comedy, hosted a live show where he got romantically dumped on stage 20 times in one night, made a ton of little fun videos for channel101 and YouTube, and now he’s full port into writing and directing horror shorts. This is the first you’ve heard of him and you’re unimpressed, but somewhat tickled at his self deprecation and meta humor. Wait, he’s standing right behind you right now, isn’t he?
