Horror, creepiness, goosebumps – my fascination for the unexplainable has been running through my life ever since I can remember. With my master thesis I now combine this with my passion for film and animation, which has also accompanied me my whole life.

abyssus – when we seek the fear
Our animated short film is about the human fascination for horror and where it comes from. The viewers experience their own little thrill and recognize its origin
Thrills, chills, adrenaline. What is it that fascinates us so much about horror and how does it manage to horrify and thrill people in equal measure? „abyssus“ deals precisely with this topic and lets viewers experience it for themselves in the form of an explanatory animated film. In a mixture of explanatory and feature film, he takes us into a bizarre world that both explains “horror” and depicts it with his own hands. In this way, the viewers can experience a little bit of horror themselves and at the same time understand what this feeling evokes in us and why we look at some moments when we actually don’t want to.
