We’ve Got A New Entomophobia Inducing Clip From ‘Mosquito State’ Ahead Of Shudder Premiere

We’ve got the trailer and a new exclusive clip from Filip Jan Rymsza‘s entomophobia-inducing Shudder Original Mosquito State ahead of its August premiere. 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,
