Cavie: La scatola degli incubi / Haunted: The nightmare box

2017, 16 minutes

a short movie based on a novel "Haunted" by C.Palahniuk

It all begins with a black box, polished and shaped like a coffin. Placed on a tripod this box emits a continuous ticking. When the clicking stops a person can get closer to the box, place the left eye to the peephole, tighten the handles placed on the sides of the box and press a button to see what happens inside. No one, except that person, knows what he sees. Everyone sees something different but none of them ever managed to explain what. One evening in the art gallery where the box was exposed, the ticking stopped, Cassandra looked through the peephole and since then has not been the same. Her mother tells us her story.
