Body Horror ‘Mosquito State’ Swarms Shudder This August [Trailer]
Venice 2020 winner of “Best Cinematography”, Shudder will release Filip Jan Rymsza‘s psychological thriller Mosquito State on its platform Aug. 26th.
The film takes place in August of 2007: “Isolated in his austere penthouse overlooking Central Park, obsessive Wall Street data analyst Richard Boca (Beau Knapp) sees ominous patterns: His computer models are behaving erratically, as are the swarms of mosquitos breeding in his apartment, an infestation that attends his psychological meltdown.
“On Wall Street, they’re called ‘quants’—the intense data analysts whose mathematical prowess can make the difference between a fortune and a flop. Consumed with his work, Richard doesn’t often stray from his office or apartment. But when Richard decides to go to a company party, he makes two acquaintances: the mysterious, sylphlike Lena (Charlotte Vega) and one pesky mosquito, both of which take root in his mind, altering his existence in profound ways.”
Filip Jan Rymsza said in a statement: “For all the vampiric bloodletting in genre films, I felt like the mosquito, man’s deadliest enemy, was thoroughly unexplored and, after reading Michael Lewis’ Flash Boys, I became fascinated by those hidden away ‘quants’ who made high-frequency trading go.”
The press release calls the film “a hypnotic plunge into the fragile mentality of an individual who can see patterns long before the rest of us.”
Here’s the trailer and a clip.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.
