2020 ·1h 23m · ★ 5.5 (27)

This horror anthology film depicts ten tales of horror from twelve visionary directors as they take us on a journey to experience one of humanity’s most carnal fears; the fear of the unknown.

Why it matters

A kaleidoscopic dive into primal dread, The Source of Shadows channels the fear of the unknown through ten disquieting tales that blend diverse visions into a singular atmosphere of creeping unease.

  • Ten directors, twelve stories: an anthology that embraces variety without losing thematic cohesion on humanity’s oldest anxieties.
  • Practical effects and inventive visuals ground the supernatural in tactile reality, recalling anthology classics like Creepshow and V/H/S.
  • Perfect for fans who crave experimental structure and regional voices pushing the boundaries of micro-budget horror.
  • Not every segment lands equally, but the unevenness is part of the charm — a patchwork of scares reflecting the genre’s restless spirit.
