Shudder Shares New Clip To Celebrate The Premiere Of ‘Mosquito State’

To celebrate today’s release of Filip Jan Rymsza‘s entomophobia-inducing Shudder Original Mosquito State we’ve got a new unnerving clip to share with you, titled “What’s Going On Here?”. Set in August 2007, we see “a man 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.” “Finding common ground between Franz Kafka, David Cronenberg,

Amazon Celebrates Success Of ‘The Tomorrow World’ With New Killer Poster

To celebrate the success of The Tomorrow War, Amazon has teamed up with Aldis Hodge’s (Brother of The Tomorrow War star Edwin Hodge and Star of One Night in Miami) artist collective, 9B Collective, to create an out of this world poster (above) featuring the film’s main cast. 9B Collective’s Kevin Tong created the final image saying: “Amazon’s THE TOMORROW WAR is at its core, a story about everyday people from all walks of life coming together to fight against an overwhelming threat. The part in the film that best exemplifies that is the portal because it is both a literal and figurative doorway to salvation and everyone goes through it and emerges at the same time, right into the action. The themes of diversity and using a doorway to drop into danger definitely informed this poster. To heighten that sense of danger and to create a stronger feeling of motion, I chose to make the direction of falling diagonal
