Menstruation has never been this terrifying—or this powerful. Geniuspills Media announces the festival debut of HYSTERICUS, a visceral body-horror short that transforms menstruation into spine-chilling terror.
When Officer Sam Benton responds to a distress call from a teenage girl and mall goth at a remote
house, she creeps through bloody sheets, lots of meat, and a confrontation with something monstrous—a grotesque creature brought to life through practical effects that will leave audiences in awe of what it means to be a woman.
Set in 2007, HYSTERICUS doesn’t just show blood—it celebrates it. This is menstrual horror that turns the awkward realities of adolescence into unforgettable cinema.
Festival selections coming soon.
Directed by Jessica Richmond and written by Richmond and Peyton Blackmer, HYSTERICUS serves as an alternate-reality prequel to their upcoming feature THE BUTCHER.
