STRIDOR
When a daycare teacher takes in a strange boy with a mysterious mask, which unleashes a ghost cult that drags educators and children into a deadly nightmare.
Horror films are often more than just scare-fests - they provide a stage for deep social and philosophical reflection. SAW tested the ethics of survival; SQUID GAME unmasked the moral bankruptcy at the heart of capitalism. STRIDOR delves into the fragility of our moral foundations under extreme pressure.
STORY
Aiko is a dedicated caregiver at an international daycare, where she’s cherished by the children. When Lukas, a mute boy wearing a mysterious wooden mask, enters the daycare, she strives to help him integrate. But the moment she touches his mask, she unleashes an ancient curse and summons a ghost - one that exposes her greatest strength, her compassion, as her most dangerous vulnerability. Suddenly, she finds herself facing a brutal question: Who truly deserves to live?
A Game of Fear
STRIDOR is more than just a horror film - it’s a social experiment that asks: How much of our morality can withstand a world ruled by fear and pressure? And who opts not to resist?
