Synopsis

 When a grieving daughter is haunted by relentless nightmares, an ancient Fury—born of vengeance and guilt—emerges from the shadows to claim her. Alone in her bedroom, surrounded by the ghosts of a fractured family, she must face a terror that feeds not on flesh, but on the secrets we try to bury. 

Silent Screams reimagines the mythological Fury as a modern embodiment of fear and retribution. With tension that builds through silence, shadow, and breath, the film pulls the viewer into a night of escalating horror—where guilt becomes the perfect prey.

Directors Biography

Gregory Scotiniadis

Gregory Scotiniadis is a Greek filmmaker and composer based in North Carolina, whose passion for storytelling began at the age of seven. Growing up in Greece, he immersed himself early on in the art of crafting stories that explore the intersection of myth, fear, and human emotion. Although life initially led him down a different professional path, his creative vision never faded.

Years later, with the unwavering support of his wife, Gregory made the bold decision to pursue his childhood dream and dedicate himself fully to filmmaking. He wrote, directed, and produced Silent Screams, a horror short film based on his original feature-length screenplay. The film received glowing reviews from both audiences and critics and has surpassed one million views on YouTube — a testament to its wide reach and powerful emotional impact.

Deeply inspired by his Greek heritage, Gregory often reimagines ancient mythology through a contemporary horror lens. In Silent Screams, he brings the Fury — an ancestral figure of vengeance — to life as a sightless creature guided by heightened senses, embodying guilt and fear. His collaboration with an Academy Award-winning prosthetics artist reflects his commitment to meticulous craftsmanship and high-quality production.

Gregory is currently filming two new horror short films, each inspired by a feature-length screenplay he has written, further expanding a coherent creative universe that weaves together mythology, psychological terror, and emotional storytelling. The author of several feature film scripts, he continues to develop new projects with the ambition of creating horror films that are visually striking, emotionally powerful, and driven by an original vision aimed at an international audience.
