Shudder has released a trailer, poster and images for the festival hit Mosquito State. Directed by Filip Jan Rymsza, the horror-thriller follows Richard Boca (Beau Knapp), an obsessive Wall Street date analyst as he suffers from a psychological meltdown; take a look here…
August 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.
Mosquito State premieres on Shudder on August 26th and features a cast that includes Beau Knapp, Charlotte Vega, Jack Kesy, and Olivier Martinez.
