If you're the sort of person who can't handle horror movies, 'Silent Shout' by Sara Berntsen might give you nightmares. The photographer hasn't articulated a particular storyline for the shoot, but all I need to get my knees knocking together is to see the shrouded female figure holding a giant skeleton key. Put her in a skiff on a lake and add some cryptic black balloons, and I'll sleep with the light on, thank you very much.
