Karen Gillan has unveiled her new short horror film Conventional - and it might just creep you out.
The nine-minute-long movie, which does contain some adult content, marks her second outing as writer-director.
Gillan stars as Rachel Milligan, a horror film leading lady who has to deal with her fall from stardom - and some really dodgy lip fillers - over the course of a horror convention.
Conventional also stars Lara Sebastian as Rachel's newest, younger actress rival and James Ransone as one of her long-term fans.
It is part of Fun Size Horror: Volume Two, which will premiere a new original horror short every day until Halloween.
Her first short film, Coward, has played at the likes of Edinburgh International Film Festival and Film4 FrightFest.
Meanwhile, James Gunn recently revealed that Gillan's villain Nebula is an "important character" in the Guardians of the Galaxy sequel.
