Our friends over at Bloody Cuts have been making bad-ass horror shorts for the past couple of years, and it’s been extremely heartening to see their worldwide reputation grow massively over that time. They are passionate, talented fans of the genre, and we’re lucky to be able to enjoy their work on a regular basis.

Having been born from a short-film contest, the Bloody Cuts gang have now launched their own worldwide horror short film challenge called WHO’S THERE, where interested filmmakers can create a terrifying 3 minute short horror film based on the theme of.. “Who’s There?” Here are the filmmakers themselves introducing the contest:

As the video mentions, there are some massive prizes to be won here, and a judging panel featuring the likes of GREMLINS director Joe Dante, indie-horror stars the Soska Sisters, Hollywood producer Gale Anne Hurd, and horror writer / director Marcus Dunstan. Very exciting stuff, and a chance for all of you directors (or potential directors) to make your marks.

Get all the details at BCHorrorChallenge.com, and that’s not all! Bloody Cuts have also created their own short especially for the launch of the competition. Sticking to the competition rules, “Dare” is a haunted house POV that gives potential entrants an idea of what to aim for. Check THAT out, as well.

Now, let’s see what you’ve got!
