"cosmic horror... is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock... themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries... the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person, insignificance and powerlessness at the cosmic scale..."

This science fiction short film from insolitum. envisions a dark future where our planet is invaded by gigantic creatures. But unlike some bombastic Marvel blockbuster, the aliens of Quiet Apocalypse are taking over slowly and doing what they need to do to survive. It packs a punch in just two short minutes.
