Regular readers of Dread Central know that we’re huge fans of CryptTV, the company dubbed “Marvel for Monsters”. In the years since they launched, CryptTV has become a go-to source for fresh and terrifying genre shorts, encountering many ghastly inhabitants of a shared, nightmarish universe.
Today, we’re thrilled to share their 25-minute festival hit The Quiet Room in its entirety! Give it a spin at the top of the article.
Synopsis:
When Michael attempts suicide without leaving a note, he provokes a terrible demon that haunts the hospital he wakes up in. Can anyone purge this evil spirit or are the inpatients all doomed to be taken by it?
The Quiet Room, starring Alaska Thunderfuck 5000, Katya Zamolodchikova, and Jamal Douglas, offers a fresh take on mental health, diversity, and queer relationships and has already aired at FilmOut, Outfest Fusion, Wicked Queer, Crypticon Seattle, and Nevermore Film Festival, where it won Best Narrative Short. In total during its festival run the film won 17 awards, including Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, and 10 wins in Best Film categories.
“Crypt is so proud to present The Quiet Room on our channel and give our audience the fresh perspective and scares they crave. The film is unlike anything we’ve posted before. We strive to shed light on our darkest fears while representing a diverse reflection of our audience on screen and create an inclusive community for all who wish to participate in the conversation, and we’re very excited by the opportunity The Quiet Room gives us to live this message,” Alyssa Onofreo Crypt TV’s director of social and audience development said.
“Crypt is thrilled to showcase The Quiet Room to our audience. Sam is an incredibly talented filmmaker and Crypt is privileged to be able to give a platform for his passion to tell important stories,” Jack Davis Crypt TV’s CEO & co-founder said.
Director Sam Wineman tells us, “I’m really excited that The Quiet Room is airing on CryptTV because their fans aren’t just spectators – they are a smart and active community. And something I love about this film is the way it brings together communities – both horror and LGBTQ. When I met with CryptTV, they made it clear to me that they stand by how important it is to bring diverse voices to their platform and reach fans who have been asking for exactly this kind of content. I couldn’t be more excited to team up on this.”
