Ari Aster is known for bringing two gems of modern horror to life: Hereditaryand Midsommar. But before he stepped onto the horror scene with these two films, Aster produced quite a few acclaimed short films that have all the trademarks of his fresh and daring style.

Although they fall into a range of genres, Ari Aster's eight shorts all feature some of the director's recognizable characteristics. From sickening tales of abuse to comical stories told by compelling characters, Ari Aster's short films deserve to be in the line-up for the world-famous talent's best works.
