Uncanny Stories

[IN DEVELOPEMENT]



A horror anthology adapted from literature. The idea is to associate several authors and directors to form a scary animated film anthology.
Based on this observation, and in particular with a strong urge to deal with these horrifying subjects, that we wanted to embark on the adventure of this anthology bringing together six adaptations of French or international short stories. Among the authors we have selected, the choice of works was ultimately focused on feelings rather than on a purely logical thematic, and it is this diversity that makes the strength and the strangeness of this anthology.
From horror, fear or anguish, we found it fascinating to set side by side Laura Kasischke and H.P. Lovecraft, Jean Ray, Alain Gagnol, the Grimm brothers and Edgar Allan Poe.
