It's the return of the darkest showcase of short sharp shocks around. We've compiled our favourite creepy cuts, chillers and bloodfests from this year's submissions, including unnerving obsessions with hole-digging and hand-scrubbing, the terrible truth behind a suburban family dinner, power-games at an orphanage, and odd goings-on when a group drops in on an estranged friend. It gets messy by the end, brace yourselves!
