More Pain, More Pay is a Polish horror-comedy short built around a strange online offer that promises financial rewards in exchange for enduring physical pain. The premise quickly places its protagonist in a bizarre situation where curiosity and the prospect of money begin to collide with increasingly uncomfortable consequences.
Directed by Mikita Bialevich, the film uses a deliberately tiny production budget to turn an extreme premise into a piece of dark independent genre filmmaking. Its horror and comedy elements work together through discomfort, absurdity, and the escalating logic of an online challenge.
More Pain, More Pay is an independent short, so its digital availability may be concentrated on creator and festival platforms.
