Short Synopsis:
The Urge 2: It Lies Within is an 8-minute animated horror comedy where nothing is what it seems. When a vampire sets out to feed under the cover of night, he’s met not only by praying townsfolk and stubborn grandmas — but by an army of woodland animals and divine intervention. A surreal, funny, and ultimately moving tale about transformation, resistance, and unexpected grace.
Buyer Pitch:
“A vampire’s worst nightmare isn’t garlic or crosses — it’s a rabbit with a vengeance, a mob with a prayer, and his own cursed soul.”
The Urge 2: It Lies Within is a bold 8-minute animated horror-comedy where gothic horror meets absurd redemption — a rare horror tale about mercy.
From a bloodthirsty beginning to a transformative climax, this short channels cartoon chaos into something surprisingly soulful.
The film mixes sharp visual storytelling with eerie voice-over narration, absurd dialogue, and religious invocation.
For buyers looking for genre-bending shorts, quirky animation, or dark comedy with a metaphysical twist — this is a perfect match.
