Time Kills (2023) | Short-Film

Synopsis

After the tragic death of her boyfriend, a young woman receives some of his belongings from his brother — among them, a strange old watch and a mysterious book filled with his notes. As she begins to read, she uncovers disturbing writings about curses, rituals, and spirits that blur the line between the living and the dead. When she realizes the watch itself is cursed, she tries to perform a ritual to break it… but the forces she awakens are far more powerful than she imagined. Time Kills is an independent horror short film directed, written, edited, and performed by Joaquim Coelho — created in just two days.
