The Pendrive

“Souradip Ghosh Films”

In Souradip Ghosh’s micro-film The Pendrive, a mundane day becomes a fatal nightmare fueled by digital paranoia. The protagonist (played by Ghosh) discovers an abandoned USB drive on the street and, driven by curiosity, takes it home. Plugging it into his computer, he finds a single, unsettling folder named "GOT YOU." He opens the enclosed video file, expecting forgotten documents or photos, but is instead met with a chilling, real-time live feed of himself sitting at his desk. His confusion turns to paralyzing dread as he realizes the camera's perspective means someone is standing directly behind him. Before he can escape, an ominous figure (credited as "Death," played by Samuel David) materializes and violently holds a blade to his throat. Clocking in at under three minutes, the thriller abruptly cuts to black. The protagonist’s grim fate is sealed by his own curiosity, delivering a sharp, fast-paced commentary on the modern fears of being watched.
