O Ruído (THE CREAK) | Award-winning HORROR SHORT | Eng Subs 4K

After moving into an eerie apartment, a woman is haunted by the belongings of a previous missing tenant... and fears she may be next. *** Director Statement (ENG) “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.” — H. P. Lovecraft. The Creak (O RUÍDO) is not a film about answers, it's about their absence. A puzzle with pieces that never fit, it reflects the traumas we never speak of and the past we try to escape... one that always returns to haunt us. I wrote The Creak after moving to São Paulo to study film, just as the COVID-19 pandemic began. Isolated in a massive, unfamiliar city, I faced intense cabin fever and unsettling reflections about my own escape from a small town. This short film became a vessel for those emotions. Visually, the film embraces ambiguity to invite viewers to project their own fears. Wide shots with sparse set design convey solitude, while liminal spaces and mirror reflections emphasize disconnection. We use simple but intentional framing: walls and ceilings often enclose the protagonist, enhancing a sense of oppression. Lighting, with harsh chiaroscuro, isolates her further. The entity appears only briefly, hidden in backgrounds, relying on pareidolia to disturb — leaving the viewer unsure of what was seen, but certain it saw them first. (PT) “A emoção mais antiga e mais forte da humanidade é o medo, e o tipo mais antigo e mais forte de medo é o do desconhecido.” — H. P. Lovecraft. O RUÍDO não é sobre respostas, é sobre a ausência delas. Um quebra-cabeça com peças que nunca se encaixam, ele reflete os traumas que nunca verbalizamos e o passado do qual tentamos fugir... mas que volta para nos assombrar. Escrevi após me mudar para São Paulo para estudar cinema, justamente quando a pandemia da COVID-19 começou. Isolado em uma cidade imensa e desconhecida, fui tomado por reflexões inquietantes sobre a minha própria fuga de uma cidade pequena. Esse curta se tornou um canal para esses sentimentos. Visualmente, o filme abraça a ambiguidade, convidando o espectador a projetar seus próprios medos. Planos abertos com cenografia mínima transmitem solidão, enquanto espaços liminares e reflexos em espelhos reforçam a desconexão. Usamos uma linguagem visual simples, porém intencional: paredes e tetos comprimem a protagonista, aumentando a opressão; iluminação com contrastes fortes e sombras duras... A entidade aparece apenas brevemente, escondida nos cenários, apostando na pareidolia para inquietar e deixando o espectador incerto sobre o que viu… mas certo de que a coisa o viu primeiro. *** Director Biography - Joaquim Coelho Novelist, screenwriter and director.
