OGRE is a Haunting Animated Short That Turns Fear Into Survival

Ogre is a fantastic CGI 3D animated short from Zeilt Studio that drills straight into the raw nerve of fear, framing it through the terrifying intimacy of home.

The story centers on a mother and her child trapped under the same roof as a violent Ogre whose unpredictable rage rattles the walls and controls every breath they take, turning daily life into a quiet endurance test where silence is the only shield.

There’s no escape plan here, just the unbearable tension of running, hiding, and hoping that the Ogre doesn’t get them.

As presented by TheCGBros, the short is summed up in its chilling description: “A mother and her child live under the same roof as the Ogre, a cruel and violent creature. When the monster’s anger shakes the walls of the house, there is only one way out: hide and make no noise. Hush! Here he comes.”

If you’re into animated shorts that lean into emotional dread and psychological tension, this Ogre is a great watch, and the ending is a bit of a gut punch that I wasn’t expecting.
