Kairo

• NO VERIFIED HORROR TRIVIA EXISTS — this entry is a worklist title-collision error, not a horror title. The only matching real 2021 film is the non-horror Spanish sci-fi short 'Kairós, el tiempo cualitativo' by Carlos Scasso.
• Verified (non-horror): the short runs 16 minutes, is rated suitable for all audiences, and is Carlos Scasso's directorial debut (opera prima) and first audiovisual work.
• Verified (non-horror): Scasso served as director, writer, producer, cinematographer, production designer, and editor; the music and sound design are credited to Juan Dahmen and Scasso.
• Verified (non-horror): the cast includes Edgar Córcoles as the insurgent Isacaar and Germán Scasso as a recruiter; the film was shot in Albacete, in Spain's Castilla-La Mancha region.
• Verified (non-horror): the short screened internationally in 2021, including the LA Shorts International Film Festival (USA) and the SciFi Film Festival Sydney (Australia).
• Disambiguation: the famous horror 'Kairo' (Pulse) is Kiyoshi Kurosawa's 2001 J-horror about ghosts spreading through the early internet — a different film, different year, already listed separately as pulse-2001.

NO HORROR THEORIES — interpretive reads require a real horror film with real scenes to anchor to; this entry has none. The matching film is a 16-minute sci-fi short, outside Vault scope.

If the intended title was the 2001 Kurosawa Kairo/Pulse, it already exists as slug pulse-2001 and should be enriched there, not under this 2021 collision entry.

Flagged for the maintainer: this is a fuzzy-match data error in vault-worklist.json index 217; recommend deletion or correction rather than publication.

DATA MISMATCH — NOT A HORROR FILM, DO NOT PUBLISH.
