What Happens
Cody works at his computer, trying to get an AI to generate a specific image. When Hannah asks him why, he explains that there’s an anomaly that often appears in pictures of bloody, rotten, bleeding corpses, and the anomaly’s name is Mora; a gaunt, tall woman with scars and oddly long arms. He says if he can isolate the anomaly, it’ll make him famous.
It does, in fact, make him famous, but not in the way he intended…
Commentary
This is about as “modern” as a horror short can get, relying on a plot driven by interactions with AI chat prompts and Midjourney-like image processing. It’s fun, it’s creepy, and you know exactly where it’s going to go once Cody explains what he’s doing. It all looks really, really good.
Remember, if you ever doubt your reality, just start counting peoples’ fingers!
