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, and Mary Harron’s American Psycho, director-screenwriter Filip Jan Rymsza emerges with a new kind of body horror, set during a single week of an exquisitely rendered pre-crash 2007 replete with signs of sociopolitical and economic rot. The film is a hypnotic plunge into the fragile mentality of an individual who can see patterns long before the rest of us, Mosquito State adds a significant chapter to the subgenre of urban isolation.”
 
 
Mosquito State premiered exclusively on Shudder on August 26, 2021.
