An unusual horror movie made of hundreds of 10-second clips has been released. The movie, entitled Sickhouse, was shot on Snapchat and after drawing millions of views on the social media site, has been released for sale.

Sickhouse follows social media celebrity Andrea Russett and her friends on their trip into an abandoned cabin in the woods. The movie was shot in five days on an iPhone and released on Russett’s popular Snapchat account.

Russett’s 10-second clips blend real life and and fiction and were later compiled into a 68-minute film now available on the online service Vimeo.

“I don’t think people are ever going to lose interest in sitting down and watching a movie but I think it’s interesting to try out these new different things,” Russett, who has 2.5 million subscribers to her YouTube channel, told Reuters.

Social media platform Snapchat, where posts disappear within 24 hours, has more than 100 million active users, most under the age of 25, according to Reuters.

About Robert (Buddy Horror) Smith 21 Articles
No. It's not that Robert W. Smith... I'm not the lead singer of the Cure. I am however, a fan of the Cure... Let's begin. I was born in Virginia and raised in New Jersey. I am happily married to my wife Kiersten Smith and a father of one to my handsome boy Asher Grayson Smith. Yes! His first name is because of the one and only Bruce Campbell most famously known from Sam Rami's "The Evil Dead" I started late in the horror game but I became a fast learner. I didn't watch my first horror movie till I was 10.. (The Haunted Mansion in Disney scared the hell out of me when I was a kid). It took 4 years until my dad was able to get me to watch The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original). From that moment I was hooked. Over the years I have hosted a radio show called B Movies with Buddy, Bryan, and Zach with Bryan Enright and Zach Horiates on WNJC 1360AM. Together we have over 200 hours of interviews of some of the best interviews from Bill Mosley (House of 1000 Corpses / Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2) to John Russo (Co Director of Night of the Living Dead / My Uncle John's a Zombie) It was probably some of the best times of my time in the scene. I love collecting horror movies with a collection of over 300 and counting it is one of my most prized possessions. I love collecting full series of a movies sequels. Even if some of them aren't the best. Follow me @buddyhorror on Twitter for random horror goodness and more from The Horror Syndicate! Top 5 Movies 1. The Evil Dead 2.
