The Source of Shadows is a horror anthology film consisting of ten tales of terror, each directed by a different filmmaker. These stories explore themes such as the fear of the unknown, loss, grief, and the supernatural.
The film opens with a framing device that introduces us to a young woman who has come to the foreboding Source of Shadows bookstore in search of a rare book. Each of the ten segments are introduced by a black and white animated sequence that connects them to the framing device and provides a sense of cohesion to the overall narrative.
The stories told in The Source of Shadows are dark, disturbing, and expertly crafted. From a man who discovers a mysterious box that grants him his deepest desires to a woman who is haunted by a malevolent presence in her home, each segment is unique and unsettling in its own way. What ties them together is an overarching sense of dread and a relentless exploration of the human psyche, making The Source of Shadows a compelling and unforgettable horror experience.
