Having missed the last bus back home for the day, a trio of cyclists decide to take their chances with a shortcut through the woods nearby. Their trip goes relatively smoothly until they encounter an abandoned railway tunnel; the sole obstacle between them and their neighbourhood. Two of the teens, Rosalia and Evan, suggest they push on, but their friend Tay senses something amiss. Her suspicions end up being proven right, as first Rosalia, and then Evan, disappear in the darkness of the tunnel. One year later, Tay returns in search of answers.

The Bluff unravels its mystery slowly, opening on the capture of a ship captain named Bodden (Ismael Cruz Córdova) and the swift execution of his entire crew. Then, viewers are treated to a tranquil British settlement in the Cayman Islands in the 1850s, where a mother bakes a coconut birthday cake for her son in a house suspiciously rigged with makeshift tripwires and burglar alarms. As it turns out, that mother is Priyanka Chopra’s quick witted and resourceful ex-pirate Mrs. Ercell Bodden, and her husband’s captors are on the way to the island to hunt her down for abandoning them and stealing their loot. The pirates of the Libertas land on the beaches of Cayman Brac, and the scenes that follow show a Viking-esque slaughter of half the island.
The repeated actions, the blood on the petals, the rustling under the floor…An ambient short horror film takes us into another realm.
Is God Is tells a harrowing tale of retribution, sisterhood, and gender based violence. Far too eerie and clever to be an ordinary slasher, but too gory and merciless to be an ordinary thriller, Is God Is will appeal to the highbrow horror lover with generational trauma anywhere.
