Description
A short film by Blake Linder
When Roger kidnaps his kids, convinced he’s protecting them from a broken home, he spirals into obsession—blind to the darkness stalking them. A sinister entity known as the Father Figure feeds on fractured families… and it’s watching.
When the children vanish, Roger must confront the demon—and his own buried guilt—to save them.
Father Figure is a chilling dive into control, masculinity, and generational trauma, blending psychological horror with supernatural dread.
