It was back in October 2012 when we first heard about The Hourglass Figure, but now that it's wrapping up a successful festival run, the short's director, Patrick Rea, has given us the okay to share the whole film with Dread Central's readers.

The Hourglass Figure, from SenoReality Pictures, premiered at last year's Shriekfest and is next heading to the Macabre Faire Film Festival as part of Eternal Con, running June 14-15 in Garden City, NY.

It was written by Michelle Davidson and Amber Rapp and stars Davidson and Brian Paulette.

The short is about a mother who’s overwhelmed with housework and raising children. She finds an hourglass in her attic that gives her an extra hour in her day, but it comes with dangerous consequences.

Knowing Rea as well as we do, we're sure he's got at least a dozen irons in the fire and several more projects heading...

Fresh off its win for Best Horror Feature Film at Shriekfest 2012 for Patrick Rea's Nailbiter, SenoReality Pictures has just wrapped a new short film, The Hourglass Figure, also directed by Rea, who sent over a few behind-the-scenes photos.

The Hourglass Figure was written by Michelle Davidson and Amber Rapp and stars Davidson and Brian Paulette. The short is about a mother who’s overwhelmed with housework and raising children.
