APOTEMNOPHILA - JANO PITA (2023)

Written and directed by Spanish filmmaker Jano Pita, Apotemnophilia (Apotemnofilia) is a horror short film that explores the eponymous syndrome in which people feel the urge to amputate healthy limbs. Having googled that, it was was perhaps not hard to imagine where this dark film was heading. Regardless, it was a success on the festival circuit and is a nicely-made, contained horror short with highly-effective VFX (and possibly SFX) that draws on some classic sci-fi tropes, not least one found most famously in Alien.
