Catcalls

Dead men don't catcall.

Produced by Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland

20179 min5.8 / 10

A darkly punitive horror short that turns predatory street harassment into a fatal comeuppance through genre reversal.

A man cruises around late at night looking for something. When he pulls over, seemingly to ask two young girls for directions, only to flash them for a cheap thrill, he discovers too late that he has picked the wrong girls.
