A Nightmare in Gogh

In a house painted in color and silence, Joanna, a soft-spoken young girl, plays quietly with her last remaining doll-Gilly-a stitched companion she treats with tenderness and care. Light filters in like brushstrokes, flickering across worn wallpaper and cracked wooden floors. As night falls, Joanna begins to wander the house, drifting through rooms like a sleepwalker. The world around her grows more dreamlike-walls ripple, paintings shift, and familiar objects take on warped, uncanny shapes. The colors smear, thicken, and begin to move with a life of their own. Without warning, the atmosphere curdles. From the darkened corners and shadowed shelves, her long-abandoned dolls emerge-one by one. Once discarded, they now move with unnatural jolts, their porcelain faces cracked, their fabric limbs limp but determined. Their hollow eyes fix on Joanna, and they advance in silence. Joanna runs, but the house stretches and coils around her. Hallways twist like a Van Gogh skyline. She screams, unheard. The dolls surround her-some crawling out of paintings, others dragging themselves from beneath furniture, all reaching. They seize her, pulling her toward a swirling, starless darkness-the "nothingness" they returned from. Themes and Interpretation: Abandonment and memory: The dolls represent forgotten pieces of Joanna's past-manifesting as guilt, trauma, or simple loneliness. Art and nightmare collide: The Van Gogh-style aesthetic turns the familiar into the surreal, making Joanna's home both beautiful and terrifying. Silent horror: With minimal dialogue, the short builds dread through visuals and pacing, leaning heavily on atmosphere and subconscious fear.
