Filmed during Max Devereaux’s senior year of high school with classmates as cast and crew, this black-and-white short tells the story of a man who wakes from a nightmare only to find the undead stalking the night. Originally released in 2013 with an unlicensed score, it was quickly taken down, only to be resurrected nearly a decade later as a silent film with a newly improvised free-jazz guitar soundtrack by Devereaux himself. Equal parts horror homage and DIY time capsule, the film transforms its youthful origins and troubled history into a fittingly undead return.
