Dead Grandma: 90 Seconds of Horror That Actually Works

Every once in a while, you stumble across something unexpected — and that’s exactly how I got wind of the 90-second horror short Dead Grandma.

Yes… ninety seconds.

Normally, that wouldn’t even register as “a film,” but curiosity got the better of me. I pressed play — and honestly? It worked.

Dead Grandma wastes absolutely no time. There’s no fluff, no over-explaining, no unnecessary buildup. It drops you straight into an uneasy moment and lets the atmosphere do the heavy lifting. The tension is subtle, the pacing is tight, and the final beat lands exactly where it should. It proves that horror doesn’t need a long runtime — it needs restraint, timing, and confidence.

What impressed me most was how much discomfort and dread it packed into such a small window. You don’t get answers spoon-fed to you. Instead, you’re left with that lingering “did that really just happen?” feeling — which, in my book, is what good horror is supposed to do.

Short films like this are reminders that creativity isn’t about budget or length. It’s about execution.
