It's the return of the darkest, most demonic showcase of short sharp shocks around. We've compiled our favourite creepy cuts, chillers and bloodfests from this year's submissions. A massage session takes an unexpected turn, whilst a partygoer finds herself locked in an abandoned mall. We welcome back GSFF favourites Michael Arcos and Bryan M Ferguson with typically unnerving works, and, from Malaysia, meet the Penanggalan, whose head detaches from her human body, entrails dangling beneath it, to search for the blood of newborns.
