SCAREBNB
Director: Mol Snith
FILM SYNOPSIS
Written, directed, and produced by Mol Smith for Onview Films, Scare Bnb is a low-budget horror-thriller short that puts a sinister, claustrophobic spin on modern vacation rentals. The narrative centers on unsuspecting guests who arrive at an isolated rental property expecting a quiet getaway, only to realize that the mysterious hosts—or the residence itself—harbor terrifying, malevolent intentions.
Utilizing Smith’s signature guerrilla-style filmmaking, dark atmosphere, and psychological suspense, the film explores themes of voyeurism, vulnerability, and the hidden dangers lurking behind seemingly welcoming spaces.
