Watch: Orphanage Monster Award-Winning Short Film ‘Milk Teeth’

“Just send one of your teeth down the drain…” This is definitely one monster I do not ever want to meet… Milk Teeth is an award-winning 13-minute horror short film from Colombian-American filmmaker Felipe Vargas, who is making his way in the industry establishing himself with excellent shorts. This picked up a few awards at a few genre film festivals last year, and is now available to watch online. If you like monsters and stories set in orphanages, don’t miss this one. An orphanage spirals into mayhem when a boy discovers a shadowy creature who comes to collect more than just the children’s teeth. The short film stars Aaron Bradshaw as Thomas, who tries to user the monster for his own gain but goes a little too far. Impressed by the monster in here? “In the vein of the handcrafted effects of my favorite films, we developed elaborate teeth prosthesis and created the sink demon, entirely practically,” Vargas says. So very creepy. View below.
