Shudder has acquired exclusive rights to the psycho-thriller ‘Mosquito State,’ from director Filip Jan Rymsza and co-written by Rymsza and Mario Zermeno, for release in North America, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand on Thursday, August 26.
An official selection of the Venice Film Festival in 2020, where it was awarded the Bisato d’Oro for Best Cinematography, ‘Mosquito State’ joins Shudder’s previously announced Summer of Chills lineup, which features new film premieres every week through August, alongside the best library of curated streaming horror films.
In ‘Mosquito State,’ 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.
Shudder’s general manager Craig Engler said “‘Mosquito State’ is a masterful allegory for the 2007 financial crisis ‘Wall Street’ meets ‘The Fly’ and serves as the perfect ending to Shudder’s Summer of Chills. Filip Jan Rymsza is very much in command of the ominous, building psycho-horror throughout the film, and we cannot wait for our audience to experience it.”
“After an amazing festival run, I?m excited to share ‘Mosquito State’ with Shudder’s passionate, ever-growing fanbase” said director and co-writer Filip Jan Rymsza.
In addition to Knapp (The Good Lord Bird, Seven Seconds), the film stars Charlotte Vega (Wrong Turn, American Assassin), Jack Kesy (The Outpost, Deadpool 2), and Olivier Martinez (Unfaithful, Before Night Falls).
The Psycho-Thriller Streams August 26 Exclusively on Shudder.
