15sHorror Jump Scare in Abandoned Hospital Corridor
A found-footage style horror scene set in a dark abandoned Indian hospital corridor, where an elderly woman in a wheelchair is left alone by a nurse and encounters a decaying fanged figure. The sequence builds tension through a slow distant pass-by, then delivers a jump scare as the creature drops from the ceiling with a scream and hard cut to black.
