Last year, we did a bunch of horror short films that were presented at the Palm Springs International Shortfest, and guess what? They’re back again this year for more great shorts. We’ve got nine great shorts this time around. Unfortunately for us, they’re all still on the festival circuit, so we can’t include links to watch them, but if you keep your eye open for them, you may be able to spot a few of these later this year!All this, as well as the latest issue of “Horror Monthly,” issue #58, for July 2026, is releasing soon! Check out all the back issues, as well as our other books, with one easy link: https://horrormonthly.comShort Films:2025 Short Film: Hand* Directed by: Jennifer Winterbotham* Written by: Jennifer Winterbotham* Stars: Sharlene Cruz, Dario Vazquez, Emma Ramos* Run Time: 18 Minutes* Submitted as an entry in the “Palm Springs International ShortFest”What HappensAmber and Justin are in the process of breaking up, and she’s taking it badly. As she walks back to her car in a daze, she accidentally cuts her hand on a cactus. Out of the blue, Justin slits his wrists, but that’s OK because she’s got bandages. Or maybe that was a dream.Later, she talks to her friend on the phone, and we see the cut on her hand and the breakup are real. At work, her hand starts bothering her, and she continues to hallucinate Justin.What exactly is going on here?CommentarySo many horror movies could simply be avoided if people actually went to the doctor! Anyway, on to the important question— does mustard expire?We know something is off about Amber right from the beginning, but finding out the specifics takes some time, and it’s all very suspenseful. The hallucinations are really well done with the accompanying special effects.Great!2026 Short Film: The End is at Hand* Directed by: Japhet E. Velazquez* Written by: Sam Gallen* Stars: Efren Ramirez, Richard Kind* Run Time: 9 Minutes* Submitted as an entry in the “Palm Springs International ShortFest”What HappensFrank calls the phone repair place, and he’s not happy about how long it’s taking to get his phone back. Meanwhile, the repairman gets to work on his phone and pulls out something gooey.Wait— is that blood?The repairman’s never had a job like this before!CommentaryRichard Kind is getting up there in years, but his voice is still identifiable and hilarious. The creature and body horror effects are very good, and it’s obvious exactly what’s going on at all times. And be sure to continue watching (and listening) through the closing credits.2025 Short Film: Ce qu’on laisse derrière / What We Leave Behind* Directed by: Jean-Sebastien Hamel, Alexandra Myotte* Written by: Jean-Sebastien Hamel, Alexandra Myotte* Stars: Jack Jackel, Jean-Sebastien Hamel* Run Time: 11 Minutes* Submitted as an entry in the “Palm Springs International ShortFest”What HappensDan tries to watch TV, but his neck has a huge hole in it, so his head won’t sit up straight. He gets drunk and breaks into the hockey rink, where he hallucinates getting beat up. The guard comes in and sees the hole in his neck.What’s going on here?CommentaryIt is animated in a very psychedelic, dreamlike way, and it’s interesting to watch one thing develop into the next. Dan is remembering his tormented, bullied youth, and it’s not pleasant. We eventually find out about his neck-hole, and it’s not a fun trip.2025 Short Film: MANTIS STREAM! LIKE & SUBSCRIBE* Directed by: Sarah Maerten, Lincoln Robisch* Written by: Sarah Maerten, Lincoln Robisch* Stars: Joseph Anthony Carroll, Sarah Maerten, Donald Inn* Run Time: 9 Minutes* Submitted as an entry in the “Palm Springs International ShortFest”What HappensA man proposes to a woman dressed like a praying mantis. It’s all a part of their livestream show. Craig is all very serious, but Mandy is only in it for likes and subscribes. He asks her for a mantis egg, and she pours them down his throat.Craig, on the other hand, chokes on the egg. She can’t help him because of her costume. The paramedics show up, and they’re into the “likes” again. Craig staggers outside, where the police are filming a thing, and he’s dying the whole time.Will Craig be OK? Will he get enough likes?CommentaryIt’s really dumb, but it’s also a representation of streamer culture, doing anything for likes. It gets weirder and weirder as it progresses, and it’s all really well done. The special effects are really impressive once it gets going as well.If you agree with my review, LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE!2026 Short Film: Don’t Puke* Directed by: Daniel Chisholm* Written by: Daniel Chisholm* Stars: Janka Horakova, Claire Uicker, Mitra Adib-Moghaddam* Run Time: 9 Minutes* Submitted as an entry in the “Palm Springs International ShortFest”What HappensIt’s Charlie’s birthday, and she’s out with her friends drinking… heavily. She leaves the bar looking for food and staggers around trying hard not to puke. As she walks up ...
