The genre of found footage horror has evolved in recent years to incorporate advancements in technology, with films like ‘Paranormal Activity 4’ utilizing gaming equipment and ‘Host’ exploring demonic possessions during Zoom calls. Now, home security cameras take center stage in the chilling short film, ‘Exposure.’

Unveiling the Horrors of Modern Technology

The film begins by presenting a disturbing fact: ‘40% of UK homes now have cameras, largely from CCTV and smart devices. Many of these devices are susceptible to hacking, allowing intruders to watch residents in their own homes.’ This unsettling statistic sets the stage for the events that unfold in the film. The audience is introduced to a sleeping mother and daughter in an undisclosed British home, unaware of the horrors that await them.

Spanning a duration of nine minutes, ‘Exposure’ captures a home invasion by a man who has gained access to the home’s security network and has been contacting the young girl. Through manipulation, he convinces her to let him into the house. The short film leaves viewers on the edge of their seats, eager to discover what happens next.

The Enigmatic YouTube Channel

What adds to the intrigue surrounding ‘Exposure’ is the enigmatic YouTube channel that uploaded the film. The channel, also named Exposure, has no prior posts, channel description, or profile picture, creating an eerie atmosphere. Despite the lack of information, the short film has garnered thousands of views within a day of its upload. Bloody Disgusting, a reputable horror news source, has identified Kris Cummins as the writer and director behind the project.

Exploring Our Fears of Home Technology

‘Exposure’ is not the only horror production this year to exploit our fears of home technology. The upcoming remake of ‘The Strangers: Chapter 1’ utilized creepy Ring Doorbell footage to promote the film, showing the killers approaching a remote cabin. These examples demonstrate the genre’s ability to tap into our anxieties surrounding the very devices meant to keep us safe.

For those brave enough, ‘Exposure’ is currently available to watch for free on YouTube. If you’re a fan of horror, be sure to check out our list of the best horror movies of all time.
