Drama Horror
Hours before her eighteenth birthday, chronic nail-biter Amy Heller finally stands up to her domineering mother about the infamous family curse—a grotesque, finger-devouring beast that hunts anyone who chews their nails. But her rebellion is cut short when the creature itself appears, ready to make her its next meal. A dark, gothic horror short that serves as a proof-of-concept for a full-length feature film.
